Abstract:
A turbulent air reducer assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a windage cover attached to a first standoff and a second standoff, the windage cover tuned to a particular vibration response. A method of managing air within a turbine of a gas turbine engine includes reducing turbulence from a multiple of recesses within a tangential on-board injector with a turbulent air reducer assembly within each of the multiple of recesses, the turbulent air reducer assembly tuned to a particular vibration response from a turbine rotor.
