TLDR
In this article, a wide angle diffuser with means for preventing boundary layer separation is described, which includes means for injecting a fluid stream into the diffuser at preselected locations for mixing with the boundary layer fluid.
Abstract
A short, wide angle diffuser having means for preventing boundary layer separation is disclosed. The means includes means for injecting a fluid stream into the diffuser at preselected locations for mixing with the boundary layer fluid. The injected fluid may be derived from the fluid exiting from the diffuser and fed back into the diffuser.

Fluidic actuation for improved diffuser performance

TL;DR: In this article, a diffuser includes a curved passageway having a curvature convex relative to the main flow for utilizing the Coanda effect and a centerbody with an opening, each for providing a secondary flow of fluid into the diffuser.
Patent

Turbine exhaust diffuser with a gas jet producing a coanda effect flow control

TL;DR: An exhaust diffuser system and method for a turbine engine includes an inner boundary and an outer boundary with a flow path defined there between as discussed by the authors, which is defined at least in part by a hub structure that has an upstream end and a downstream end.
Patent

Devices and methods of operation thereof for providing stable flow for centrifugal compressors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a flow stabilizing device that acts upon the flow field discharging from the impeller of a centrifugal compressor and modify the field ahead of the diffuser vanes such that flow conditions contributing to rotating stall and surge are reduced or even eliminated.
Patent

Combustor inlet diffuser with boundary layer blowing

TL;DR: A gas turbine engine combustor inlet diffuser assembly has at least one diverging annular wall including a flowpath surface bounding a diffuser flowpath as mentioned in this paper, and an annular blowing slot is axially located along the ANNular wall and a blowing air flowpath leads to and is in fluid communication with the blowing slot.
Patent

Turbine exhaust diffuser with region of reduced flow area and outer boundary gas flow

TL;DR: An exhaust diffuser system and method for a turbine engine is described in this article. But it does not specify the inner boundary of the diffuser, and the outer boundary is not considered in this paper.

Internal-combustion turbine plant

Baumann Karl
TL;DR: In this article, an internal combustion turbine is used to drive a multi-stage axial flow air compressor, either directly or through gearing, so that the speed of the compressor is always the same as or is in direct relation to the acceleration of the turbine.
Patent

Fluid jet pump

TL;DR: In this paper, a fluid jet pump or injector for conveying a fluid by means of a fast-moving stream of the same or another fluid and converting the velocity energy of the mixture into pressure energy in a diffuser is described.
