Abstract
A variable geometry turbine comprising: a wheel supported for rotation about an axis; a housing comprising a first volute for receiving gas from a first source and a second volute for receiving gas from a second source; the first and second volutes being separated by a dividing wall; and an inlet passageway surrounding the wheel and fluidly connected to the volutes; the inlet passageway at least partially defined between a first wall and an opposite second wall, the first wall being moveable along the axis to vary the size of the inlet passageway; wherein a tip of the dividing wall defines a first radius relative to the axis, and a radially outermost part of the first wall positioned within the inlet passageway defines a second radius relative to the axis, and wherein the first radius is at least around 1% larger than the second radius.
