    Abstract: Embodiments of a Gas Turbine Engine (“GTE”) are provided, as are embodiments of a plasma flow-controlled intake system for deployment on a GTE. In one embodiment, the GTE includes a turbine section, a combustion section upstream of the turbine section, a compressor section upstream of the combustion section, and intake section upstream of the compressor section. The intake section includes a plenum, a first inlet fluidly coupled to the plenum, and a flow-obstructing structure projecting into the plenum and having an outer surface impinged by the airflow directed into the plenum through the first inlet during operation of the GTE. A first array of plasma actuators is disposed on flow-obstructing structure and, when activated, suppresses vortex shedding of the air flowing over the outer surface of the flow-obstructing structure.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a turbomachine, such as a gas turbine engine, are provided. In one embodiment, the turbomachine includes an impeller, a main intake plenum in fluid communication with the inlet of the impeller, and an impeller shroud recirculation system. The impeller shroud recirculation system includes an impeller shroud extending around at least a portion of the impeller and having a shroud port therein. A shroud port cover circumscribes at least a portion of the shroud port and cooperates therewith to at least partially define an impeller recirculation flow path. The impeller recirculation flow path has an outlet positioned to discharge airflow into the main intake plenum at a location radially outboard of the shroud port when pressurized air flows from the impeller, through the shroud port, and into the impeller recirculation flow path during operation of the turbomachine.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section and a combustion section with a scroll, a scroll baffle, a combustor, and a combustor case. The scroll defines an interior scroll flow path. The scroll baffle surrounds the scroll to define a scroll cooling passage. The combustor case surrounds the combustor and the scroll baffle to define a collector space. Moreover, the engine includes a turbine section with a turbine rotor and a turbine rotor blade shroud that includes a shroud cooling passage. The compressor flow path is fluidly connected to the scroll for cooling the scroll. Also, the scroll cooling passage is fluidly connected to the shroud cooling passage for cooling the turbine rotor blade shroud. Furthermore, the shroud cooling passage is fluidly connected to the collector space. Flow from the collector space flows into the combustor, along the interior scroll flow path, toward the turbine rotor.
