Abstract
A diffuser has a cylindrical wall and an arcuate end wall located at an end of the cylindrical wall. The cylindrical wall has a first lattice structure formed of a first plurality of triply periodic surfaces that are periodic in cylindrical coordinates, the first lattice structure having a plurality of passages that extend between an inner surface of the cylindrical wall and an outer surface of the cylindrical wall. The arcuate end wall has a second lattice structure formed of a second plurality of triply periodic surfaces that are periodic in spherical coordinates, the second lattice structure having a plurality of passages that extend between an inner surface of the arcuate end wall and an outer surface of the arcuate end wall.
