Abstract:
An internal structure of a primary exhaust duct of a turbomachine, which has a primary wall allowing air to pass through orifices and forming an internal surface of the primary exhaust duct, an interior skin arranged inside the primary wall, and at least one separator of which a first edge region is attached to the interior skin and which has two geometries. A change from the first geometry to the second takes place when the temperature of the separator exceeds a first temperature, and the change from the second to the first takes place when the temperature of the separator drops below a second temperature. The coefficient of expansion of the separator is greater than that of the interior skin. The variation in the geometry of the separators depending on the temperature of the engine eases assembly at ambient temperature due to the compression of the separators.
