Abstract (en)

The invention is directed at an exhaust system exhibiting an increased flow uniformity under diversion conditions comprising: (1) a honeycomb structure having an inlet and outlet end disposed in a housing (2) located in an exhaust gas stream and downstream from an engine, and having a first substantially unobstructed flow region (22), and a second more obstructed flow region (23) adjacent the first region, both providing a flow path for the exhaust gases in the exhaust gas stream; and, (2) a fluidics apparatus (24) disposed in the exhaust stream comprising a diverter body (25) located proximate to the first region, a diversion fluid source, a conduit (26) for directing the diversion fluid toward the diverter body (25) and an exhaust flow divergent device (27). <IMAGE>
