Abstract
Flow control devices and structures for turbomachines. In some examples, the flow control devices and structures include various arrangements of flow guiding channels, partial height vanes, and other treatments located on one or both of a shroud and hub side of a turbomachine to redirect, guide, or otherwise influence portions of a turbomachine flow field to thereby improve the performance of the machine.
