Abstract
A vortical flow distributor for uniformly, vortically distributing incoming fluid in a plane transverse to the primary flow direction, including an outlet and at least one smaller inlet; a plenum chamber disposed between the inlet and outlet and having an area corresponding to the area of the outlet and having a length in the primary flow direction which is substantially less than its width; and a flow diverter aligned with each inlet for directing the incoming fluid to a plane transverse to the primary flow direction, and establishing a tangential flow with radial components for producing over the plenum chamber area a pattern of distributed vorticity which finally dissipates the flow velocity.
