Abstract	This paper discusses the external volute design methods for radial inflow turbines. First the existing 1-D methods are reviewed and the difficulty for such methods to completely define the volute geometry is highlighted. A method to partially overcome this difficulty is presented. To fully solve the problem, multi-dimensional methods are required. An improvement is given to the extended 2-D method proposed first by the author thirteen years ago. By solving the conservative form of the continuity equation, rather than the non-conservative formation of the potential flow, smoothness of the volute geometry is improved. Finally a new 3-D method is described. In this method, the flow inside the volute is treated as irrotational and tangentially uniform, this allows the 3-D flow be mapped to a 2-D flow in the z-r plane. This 2-D potential flow is then solved together with the stream surface equations through iterations, and the volute geometry is generated in the process.
