Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and apparatuses for use in turbine systems that integrate structural frame elements into a variable-vectoring flow control configuration in order to reduce the weight and length of such turbine systems. In one exemplary embodiment, an apparatus for directing a gas flow includes an annular outer structural casing, an annular central hub disposed within the outer structural casing, and a plurality of structural support elements extending radially between the central hub and the outer structural casing. The apparatus further includes a plurality of positionally-fixed, variable-vectoring flow control bodies extending radially between the central hub and the outer structural casing and positioned circumferentially along the central hub between ones of the plurality of structural support elements.
