Abstract
A bypass gas turbine aeroengine has an exhaust mixer of the lobed type. The trailing edges of the confronting sides of each lobe are cut back to form notches or scallops in the sides of the lobe. To reduce aerodynamic losses and engine length and weight, the final turbine stage within the engine core is without outlet guide vanes so that the turbine exhaust gas stream issuing from the turbine has a substantial swirl component of velocity. Correction back to an axial direction of mean flow at the downstream end of the exhaust mixer nozzle is achieved by making the area of the scallop in one of the confronting sides of each lobe greater than the area of the scallop in the other side, the arrangement being such that sufficient of the turbine exhaust stream effuses from the larger scallops in directions contrary to the swirl component of velocity to produce the desired correction.
