Abstract
Systems and methods for an exhaust system for a gas turbine engine are provided. The method includes: receiving a primary exhaust fluid in a primary manifold; receiving a secondary cooling fluid in a secondary plenum; directing the primary exhaust fluid through a plurality of eductor primary flow paths associated with a respective plurality of ducts spaced circumferentially about a primary manifold, the plurality of eductor primary flow paths extending through the secondary plenum; and mixing the primary exhaust fluid and the secondary cooling fluid in a mixing chamber associated with a respective one of the plurality of ducts to create a mixed fluid flow.
