Claim 16:
17. A leakage component, comprising:
a tubular first housing defining a first flow path between a first end portion and a second end portion;
a ball joint surface adjacent to the second end portion and defined along an outer surface of the first housing;
a plurality of leakage ports formed in the first housing and in fluid communication with the first flow path, wherein fluid flow through the plurality of leakage ports is configured to entrain ambient air into the fluid flow exiting the plurality of leakage ports to decelerate the fluid flow, a profile of each of the plurality of leakage ports comprises a discorectangular profile the discorectangular profile comprising an elongated rectangular shape with semi-circular ends each having a diameter, and a leakage port of the plurality of leakage ports is separated from a neighboring leakage port of the plurality of leakage ports by a factor of the diameter of the semi-circular ends of the discorectangular profile;
a tubular second housing defining a second flow path, wherein the second housing is coupled to the first housing to permit fluid communication between the first flow path and the second flow path; and
a socket surface defined within an inner surface of the second housing, wherein the socket surface is configured to movably couple with the ball joint surface.
