Abstract
A combustor diffuser assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a prediffuser for receiving compressed air from a gasifier impeller of a gas turbine engine and for directing it into the inlet of a vortex controlled downstream diffuser and wherein the prediffuser and vortex controlled diffuser are spaced to form gaps for air bleed to form vortices to minimize bleed and main diffuser flow pressure drop and to minimize distortion in compressed air flow to plural passages leading to primary and secondary air openings in the inner and outer walls of an annular combustor assembly for the gas turbine engine.
