Abstract

See full text

According to the invention, on at least one of the faces (1E, 1I) of said leading edge (1), forward of the partition (3), an action is exerted on the fluid flow (EF) so as to cause the latter to switch from the laminar state (EFL) to the turbulent state (EFT) in order to increase the thermal exchanges and minimize the thermal stresses on said leading edge.
