Zusammenfassung:A mixer assembly for a vehicle exhaust system includes an inner wall surface and a flow diverter with a flow directing surface that is spaced apart from the inner wall surface to provide an exhaust gas inlet area. The flow directing surface terminates at a distal end that is spaced apart from the inner wall surface to provide an orifice between the distal end and the inner wall surface through which exhaust gas flow accelerates and is directed to flow along the inner wall surface. A vehicle exhaust component assembly that includes the mixer and a method for mixing injected fluid spray into the mixer are also disclosed.
