Claim 5:
6. A turbomachine comprising:
a shroud;
a hub spaced apart from the shroud, the hub and the shroud configured to channel an airflow along a direction;
a plurality of airfoils coupled between the shroud and the hub, at least one airfoil of the plurality of airfoils including a leading edge spaced apart from a trailing edge in the direction of the airflow, a pressure side opposite a suction side, and the at least one airfoil has a span defined as 0% at the hub and 100% at the shroud; and
a first local vortex generator array defined on the suction side and the shroud, the first local vortex generator array is defined downstream of the leading edge, and the first local vortex generator array is defined on the suction side between greater than or equal to 60% span and 100% span.
