Abstract
A fluid-flow machine includes at least one rotor and a free number of stators flown by a fluid, with at least one blade thereof positioned on throat-confining surfaces provided with both a device for fluid removal from the flow path and a device for fluid supply into the flow path (bi-functionality). The machine includes at least one line associated with the device for fluid removal for returning the removed fluid to an upstream position in the flow path and at least one further line associated with the device for fluid supply for supplying the fluid from a further downstream position in the flow path.
