Detail of a turbine exhaust manifold "omega joint".

Picture 4 of 4.

The turbine exhaust manifold incorporates 15 such joints (so called because their cross-section resembles the Greek letter Ω) to allow for thermal expansion.

This photo is of the interior of an omega expansion joint, taken through the flow vanes on the aft end of the turbine exhaust manifold.
