Abstract
An exhaust diffuser includes an outer shroud and an inner shroud radially separated from the outer shroud so as to define a fluid passage between the outer shroud and the inner shroud. A strut extends between the outer shroud and the inner shroud. The strut generally includes an outer surface, a leading edge, a trailing edge, a first side and a second side. At least one turbulator may be positioned along a radial span of the strut. The at least one turbulator extends generally outwardly from the strut outer surface. The turbulator extends across the leading edge of the strut from the first side to the second side of the strut.
