Le rôle d'un pavillon d'aspiration bien étudié est donc de canaliser la veine d'air afin qu'elle puisse entrer dans la roue en assurant ainsi un minimum de pertes accompagnant la transformation d'une partie de la pression statique en pression cinétique due à l'accélération de l'air. Dans certains cas, le pavillon pénètre dans la roue afin de préparer les changements de direction du fluide. 3, record 1, French, - pavillon%20d%27aspiration
