1. A thermal wake suppressor comprising:
a spacing grid defined by a plurality of longitudinal ribs and a plurality of transverse ribs that form a plurality of intersections, the plurality of longitudinal ribs including M number of longitudinal ribs, the plurality of transverse ribs including N number of transverse ribs, the plurality of intersections including (M−1)×(N−1) number of intersections, the spacing grid (i) having an exterior frame including two of the plurality of longitudinal ribs and two of the plurality of transverse ribs and (ii) containing the plurality of intersections; and
a plurality of twist plates extending from the spacing grid in a downstream direction from a heat-generating component, the plurality of twist plates being periodically arranged on at least some of the plurality of longitudinal ribs and at least some of the plurality of transverse ribs, wherein a subset of the plurality of twist plates is arranged to break apart a thermal wake caused by the heat-generating component into sub-vortexes in the downstream direction.
