Abstract
A flow structure of a gas turbine, in particular for an aircraft engine, in a transitional channel between two compressors or in a transitional channel between two turbines or in a transitional channel of a turbine outlet housing downstream from a low-pressure turbine is disclosed. Supporting ribs are positioned in the transitional channel and spaced a distance apart in the circumferential direction of the transitional channel. At least one guide vane and/or guide rib is positioned between two supporting ribs spaced a distance apart from one another. The flow outlet edge of the guide rib or each guide rib runs upstream from the flow outlet edges of the supporting ribs.
