	  abstract     = {The subject of this paper is the investigation of the
best efficiency design of a compressor diffuser applied in new
lightweight, ultra efficient micro-gas turbine engines for vehicles. The
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results are obtained utilizing
steady state simulations for a wedge and an ”oval” type pipe diffuser
in an effort to identify the beneficial effects of the pipe diffuser
design. The basic flow features are presented with particular focus
on the optimization of the pipe diffuser leading to higher efficiencies
for the compressor stage. The optimised pipe diffuser is designed to
exploit the 3D freedom enabled by Selective Laser Melting, hence
purposely involves an investigation of geometric characteristics that
do not follow the traditional diffuser concept.},
