Diffuser for a turbine engine and method of forming same

Abstract:

A diffuser for a turbine engine includes a first wall that extends circumferentially about a centerline axis of the turbine engine. The diffuser also includes a second wall that extends circumferentially about the centerline axis. At least a portion of the second wall is positioned radially outwardly from at least a portion of the first wall. A flow path is defined by the first wall and the second wall. The flow path extends from an inlet configured to receive an axial flow of a fluid, to a circumferentially extending outlet configured to emit the fluid in a substantially radial direction. The outlet extends asymmetrically about the centerline axis.
