Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure generally relate to a turbine engine and method of operating a turbine engine having an engine core including a compressor, combustor, and turbine in axial flow arrangement, whereby a working airflow passes through the engine core from the compressor to the turbine to define a flow direction through the engine core. The method includes generating a shockwave in the working airflow that propagates in the flow direction, and at least partially attenuating the shockwave.
