Abstract
A diffuser-nozzle assembly for mounting at an outlet from a compressor in a turbomachine, the assembly including a nozzle including two substantially cylindrical walls, a radially inner wall and a radially outer wall that are connected together by radial vanes. The walls of the nozzle are extended downstream beyond the radial vanes and the radial spacing therebetween varies downstream from the vanes to be at a minimum substantially in register with the vanes and at a maximum between the vanes.
