ABSTRACT:
A method of diffusing airflow includes diffusing first and second airflow portions at first and second diffusion rates, respectively, which are unequal for improving pressure recovery. An exemplary diffuser for practicing the invention includes first and second channels separated by a splitter for separately diffusing first and second airflow portions, respectively. The first and second channels have first and second area ratios, respectively, which are unequal for obtaining increased pressure recovery. In the preferred embodiment, the first and second area ratios are preselected for obtaining substantially symmetrical airflow streamlines over a leading edge of the splitter.
