Abstract

See full text

Methods are provided for creating a fluidic barrier between the core stream and the bypass stream in a turbofan engine. A method comprises compressing the bypass and core streams with a fan between an upstream splitter and a downstream splitter which divides the bypass and core streams, and imparting a first momentum into the air stream proximate the fan in a region between the core and bypass streams and the upstream and downstream splitters to form a fluid barrier, wherein the first momentum of the air stream in the region is higher than a second momentum of the air stream adjacent the fluid barrier.
