Fins on Engine Cowling
Hi,
Have alook at this picture:

http://www.airliners.net/photo/Lufthansa/Airbus-A340-642/0596750/M/

Here is mentioned that these fins are used to reduce turbulence, I would like to know more about these devices and why they put them on engine cowlings? Is there any major source of turbulence around the engines AND Does this method affect the noise (thanks toolowtoofast ) polution made by the plane?( I heard this somewhere but still unsure about the truth?)

Does Boeing use the sameway?
