This chapter provides a short overview of the different non-axisymmetric inlet and outlet geometries for radial impellers. It describes the advantages and disadvantages of the different types, and explains the relation between the geometry and the flow in terms of performance and circumferential pressure distortion. Inlet and outlet volutes are discussed separately because of the fundamental differences between the flows.
