A splitter is provided for improving a pressure recovery of a compressor discharge casing (CDC) by substantially aligning a fluid vortex about a longitudinal axis of a gas turbine engine. The CDC includes an annular wall that extends generally axially along at least a portion of the CDC. The CDC is configured to house a first combustor and a second combustor. The splitter extends from the annular wall between the first and second combustors. The splitter includes a first surface that is configured to direct fluid towards the first combustor and a second surface that is configured to direct fluid towards the second combustor.
