Abstract
The oscillatory forces acting on an eccentric rod within a diffuser are reduced by an annular bypass collar around the rod immediately upstream of the diffuser region. The collar includes a sleeve portion that completely surrounds the rod and a bypass channel outside the sleeve which carries most of the fluid into the diffuser region on a path parallel to but spaced from the rod. The collar is most effective when a multiplicity of discrete bypass channels are provided.
