Abstract

Assemblies and methods for directing a flow of air through a compressor section of a gas turbine engine are disclosed. A method includes receiving the flow of air over a strut extending radially across a substantially annular gas path of the gas turbine engine, and at least partially confining and modifying a strut wake generated in the flow of air by the strut using one or more variable orientation guide vanes.
