Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a more compact and effective flow control grid that can change the direction of fluid flow and create a substantially uniform velocity profile at the outlet thereof.SOLUTION: A flow control grid 40 includes a plurality of channel assemblies 51-66 connected to one another. Each of the plurality of channel assemblies defines a flow straightening section 42 and a flow turning section. The flow turning section 44 has an arcuate segment and a first substantially flat segment. The first substantially flat segment is positioned in the flow straightening section. The arcuate segment extends outwardly from the flow straightening section.
