Abstract
A vortex spoiler () for delivery of a cooling airflow () in a turbine () engine () including a plurality of inlet ports () formed circumferentially about a radial exterior sidewall (), and a plurality of outlet ports () formed circumferentially about a radial interior sidewall (). The plurality of inlet ports () are coupled to the plurality of outlet ports () via a plurality of ducts (). Each of the ducts is formed having an interior diameter at the inlet port and the outlet port formed at a preselected angle normal to the surface of the each of the radial sidewalls to form a radially curved profile such that a cooling airflow () may pass radially inwardly through each of the plurality of ducts () with minimal tangential stress and minimal static pressure loss.
