Abstract: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes an intercooling system with a plurality of injectors for injecting an intercooling waterflow into a portion of a compressor passage. The plurality of injectors are spaced apart about the compressor passage and the injection of the intercooling water flow is varied between the plurality of injectors to influence flow that is communicated through the compressor passage.

Abstract: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes an intercooling system configured to inject water into a compressor section to reduce a temperature of a core airflow within the core flow path. The intercooling system includes a plurality of injectors for injecting water at a water injection angle relative to an airflow to generate a defined swirl of a combined airflow and water to the compressor section.
