Abstract
A ported shroud for a compressor associated with a gas turbine engine includes a primary inlet configured to be in fluid communication with the compressor, and the primary inlet is defined to extend along a central axis of the ported shroud. The ported shroud includes a bellmouth that surrounds the primary inlet, and a port plenum configured to be in fluid communication with the compressor. The port plenum extends along an axis that is transverse to the central axis of the ported shroud and transverse to a direction of fluid flow. The port plenum has a port plenum inlet defined about the axis, and the port plenum inlet is defined through the bellmouth such that a tortuous path is defined to the port plenum inlet. The port plenum including a port plenum outlet downstream from the port plenum inlet configured to be in fluid communication with the compressor.
