Abstract
The invention relates to ventilating the confluence sheet of an afterburner chamber of an aviation turbomachine, including, upstream from the afterburner chamber: a diffuser defined by a confluence sheet disposed inside a casing, said casing and said confluence sheet defining between them an annular channel for a cold secondary flow, upstream fuel injectors being disposed at the inlet to said diffuser and flame-catchers being disposed downstream from said upstream injectors, said confluence sheet presenting, between the radial plane containing said upstream injectors and the radial plane situated at the rear ends of said flame-catchers two bends so as to flare downstream in order to slow down the primary flow Fdownstream from said upstream injectors. An annular scoop is provided around the upstream portion of said confluence sheet in order to extract a flow of air from the cold flow, said extracted flow being injected tangentially into the primary flow via a plurality of channels formed in the wall of said confluence sheet between the scoop and said diffuser.
