You don't remove the turbulence, you slice through it like a Volkswagen ARVW!
Look no further than the new Indy Cars for an attempt to combat turbulent wake from the leading car.

That will provoke some puzzled head scratching.

Seems perfectly feasible to me - wherever one force predominates, another counteracts - or something like that ( I was never very good at science, except biology and botany).
Jen's law of F1 turbulence
As the resident pedant, I can't help thinking that the aim of an aerodynamicist would probably be not so much to remove turbulence as to prevent it occurring in the first place. As for the idea of slicing through it, I think that's just whistling in the wind.
We'll see about that.
Ah, but you always hear it if you're standing in the right place. Maybe these guys just need to realign themselves for the true effect. Trouble with scientists, they can have tunnel vision
Yes, but only from here:

and here:

But Wikipedia doesn't fill you in on who piloted that machine.
Keep digging. But you may already be able to guess.

Did the ARVW have a fin, Keke?
Ah, but did it have two on the outside and one on the inside?
If we go on long enough, maybe we'll give the Mods something to do this afternoon.
Here's a good shot of the rear.

The shape of fins to come?
So you've got it figured out huh?
2 Fins on the outside, 1 Finn in the cockpit.
