Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a system and apparatus relating to compressor operation in turbine engines. Concretely, provided is a compressor (52) of a turbine engine, the compressor (52) including stator blades (62) with shrouds (101), the shrouds (101) being surrounded, at least in part, by rotating structure (103) and forming a shroud cavity (109) therebetween, the compressor (52) including: a plurality of tangential flow inducers (141) disposed within the shroud cavity (109); wherein each tangential flow inducer (141) comprises a surface disposed on the rotating structure (103) that is configured such that, when rotated, induces a tangential directional component to and/or increases the velocity of a flow of leakage exiting the shroud cavity (109).
