A flow splitter includes a stepped ring and a flow restriction. The stepped ring includes a first inner wall having a first diameter, a second inner wall having a second diameter less than the first diameter, a radial step that transitions from the first to the second inner wall, and a plurality of apertures circumferentially located along the first inner wall and partially through the radial step. The first flow restriction has at least a portion thereof at a position between the first diameter and the second diameter. Further, the first flow restriction directs a flow of at least one of a gas and a fluid towards the first inner wall, and is configured to split the flow into an exit flow and a secondary flow. The exit flow exits the stepped ring via the plurality of apertures and the secondary flow proceeds downstream directed by the second inner walls.
