Description
FIG. 1 is a top and perspective view of a design for a flow
ingestion discourager with a ridged pattern for a turbomachine
shroud.
FIG. 2 is a top view of the design for the flow ingestion
discourager with a ridged pattern of FIG. 1 for a turbomachine
shroud.
FIG. 3 is a side, elevational view of the design for the flow
ingestion discourager of FIG. 1 for a turbomachine shroud,
illustrating the ridged pattern being located towards the forward
end of the shroud. The forward end is the left side of the shroud
in FIG. 3.
FIG. 4 is a side, elevational view of the design for the flow
ingestion discourager of FIG. 1 for a turbomachine shroud,
illustrating the ridged pattern being located towards the forward
end of the shroud. The forward end is the right side of the shroud
in FIG. 4.
FIG. 5 is a front view of the design for the flow ingestion
discourager with ridged pattern of FIG. 1 for a turbomachine
shroud, illustrating a front edge of the ridged pattern on the
shroud.
FIG. 6 is a rear view of the design for the flow ingestion
discourager with ridged pattern of FIG. 1 for a turbomachine
shroud, illustrating a rear or aft edge of the ridged pattern on
the shroud.
FIG. 7 is a top and perspective view of the design for the flow
ingestion discourager with a ridged pattern of FIG. 1 for a
turbomachine shroud, showing the position of the flow ingestion
discourager relative to an inspection hole located in the forward
end of the shroud.
FIG. 8 is a top view of the design for the flow ingestion
discourager with a ridged pattern of FIG. 1 for a turbomachine
shroud, showing the position of the flow ingestion discourager
relative to an inspection hole located in the forward end of the
shroud; and,
FIG. 9 is a front view of the design for a flow ingestion
discourager with a ridged pattern of FIG. 1 for a turbomachine
shroud, showing the position of the flow ingestion discourager
relative to an inspection hole located in the forward end of the
shroud.
The broken lines in the drawings represent portions of the flow
ingestion discourager with ridged pattern for a turbomachine shroud
which form no part of the claimed design.
