Abstract

Described is a plenum, in particular the air plenum of a gas-turbine combustion chamber, having at least two flow inlets, for introducing gas flows into the plenum, in which the gas flows are guided essentially along the inner wall of the plenum and are directed toward one another in such a way that the gas flows, after coinciding, are directed as a free gas flow away from the inner wall. The invention is distinguished by the fact that at least one flow obstacle (11) oriented in interaction with the direction of flow of the gas flows (1, 2) guided on the inner wall (3) is provided on the inner wall (3).
