Abstract
A gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a case having a wall that provides a manifold cavity, the wall including an aperture and a bore; a tube assembly with a flange that provides a fluid passage aligned with the aperture; a mixing feature arranged in the manifold cavity and including a plate with a hole; and an insert having a body and a head, the body received in the hole and sealed in the bore, the head capturing the plate against the wall. The mixing feature is configured to divert a flow of cooling fluid in at least a counterclockwise direction improving jet mixing and placement of the cooling fluid.
