Abstract:
An integrated outlet guide vane assembly for turbomachinery typically includes at least one outlet guide vane and at least one bifurcation having a leading edge and a trailing edge. The turbomachinery has a central axis of rotation and a defined direction of rotation about the axis. The guide vane comprises an airfoil having a leading edge and a trailing edge and has a non-zero angle of lean in the direction of rotation and a non-zero sweep angle relative to a line perpendicular to the central axis. The leading edge of the bifurcation has a non-zero angle of lean in the direction of rotation and a non-zero sweep angle relative to a line perpendicular to the central axis. The trailing edge of the vane is faired into the leading edge of the bifurcation.
