Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a turbomachine including a flow improvement system.SOLUTION: A turbomachine includes a housing that defines a flow path, and a stage arranged within the housing. The stage includes a plurality of rotating airfoil members and a plurality of first stationary airfoil members. A plurality of second stationary airfoil members are arranged directly adjacent to the plurality of first stationary airfoil members. A flow improvement system is associated with each of the plurality of first and second stationary airfoil members. The flow improvement system establishes predetermined clocking of each of the plurality of first stationary airfoil members relative to each of the plurality of second stationary airfoil members to improve flow characteristics along the flow path.
