Abstract
A turbine diffuser configured for use in a turbocharger is disclosed. The turbine diffuser may comprise a diffuser wall defining the diffuser and circumscribing a central axis of the diffuser, and a plurality of deswirl ribs each extending axially along the diffuser wall. Each of the deswirl ribs may have a first end attached to the diffuser wall, and an opposing second end exposed in an interior space of the diffuser. The deswirl ribs may be configured to reduce rotation of exhaust gas that flows through the diffuser.
