The invention relates to a mixing device which is arranged in a flow channel and a mixing method for mixing a fluid flowing through the flow channel in a main direction of flow. The mixing device has a plurality of mixer disks which generate leading edge eddies in a fluid flowing through the flow channel in a main direction of flow. The mixer disks are arranged in mixer disk rows in row axes running essentially across the main direction of flow. The mixer disk rows are arranged side by side in the main direction of flow in a common flow channel section where the mixer disks of neighboring mixer disk rows are alternately angled in a positive angle of attack and in a negative angle of attack with respect to the main direction of flow. According to this process, the fluid flowing through the flow channel is mixed thoroughly by a leading edge eddy system, whereby in the mixing method presented here at least two contra-rotating leading edge eddy systems are generated in a common flow channel section.

The present invention relates to an exhaust gas guide of a gas turbine, which is situated between the gas turbine and a downstream waste heat boiler or a downstream gas diverter and which comprises a flow channel which has a cross-section expanding in at least some areas in the main flow direction, having installed surfaces influencing the flow. In order to achieve a more compact implementation of the exhaust gas guide and simultaneously avoid or reduce pressure losses, the installed surfaces are implemented as a swirl device generating a leading edge swirl, which is situated in the diverging area of the flow channel and is implemented to distribute the exhaust gas flow uniformly over the flow cross-sectional area upon entry into the waste heat boiler or the gas diverter. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for mixing the exhaust gas of a gas turbine with hot exhaust gas streams generated in an auxiliary firing of at least one burner. This thorough mixing is achieved by generating at least one leading edge swirl system in the flow channel.

The invention relates to a gas supply for an electrostatic filter and an electrostatic filter arrangement which has an electrostatic filter and a gas supply. Here, the gas supply has an incoming flow channel of constant cross-sectional area, a gas inlet hood with cross-sectional area expanding in the direction of the electrostatic filter, and an admixture arrangement for a conditioning means, wherein at least one flow distributor is arranged in the expanded cross-sectional region of the gas inlet hood. Characterizing features include a first vortex arrangement generating a leading-edge vortex arranged in the incoming flow channel, a second vortex arrangement generating a leading-edge vortex arranged in the gas inlet hood before the flow divider in the gas flow direction, and the admixture arrangement arranged in the region of one of the two vortex arrangements.
