Vibration-Free Vanes Direct Cryogenic Flow

Upstream fluid-dynamic surface prevents oscillations. Simple structural addition to liquid-oxygen manifold prevents vibration and allows increased flow. T-shaped manifold uses vanes to distribute liquid oxygen. Far from vanes, spoiler suppresses vibrations caused by unstable dynamic coupling between flow and elasticity of vanes.
