  13. Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 12, gekennzeichnet dadurch, dass die erzeugten Gegenwirbel (38; 138; 238) diskontinuierlich erzeugt werden, insbesondere bei Annäherung eines Leckagewirbels (36).
  14. Verfahren gemäß einem der Ansprüche 12 oder 13, gekennzeichnet dadurch, dass die erzeugten Gegenwirbel (36) in Richtung stromabwärts injiziert werden, insbesondere hin zu den Leckagewirbeln (36).
