ABSTRACT:
A diffuser system for a compressor for a gas turbine engine includes a diffuser and a plasma actuator. The diffuser comprises a first wall and a second wall. The first and second walls form a diffuser flow passage therebetween. The plasma actuator is disposed at least partially proximate the second wall. The plasma actuator is adapted to generate an electric field to ionize a portion of air flowing through the flow passage.
