A hydrodynamic coupling contains a pump wheel and a turbine wheel, which are rotatably mounted about a common axis of rotation. The pump wheel and the turbine wheel each carry a circumferential channel about the axis of rotation, so that the channels axially facing one another limit a toroidal working space that can be filled with a fluid. The pump wheel and the turbine wheel each have radial blades which subdivide the channels into blade chambers. Here, the turbine wheel has a first blade chamber and a second blade chamber, wherein contours of the channel in the radial direction are distinct in the two blade chambers.
