Adapters that provide an interface for connecting two or more fluid conduits are provided. Disclosed embodiments include a system having one or more adapters including a first end configured to couple to an inner wall of a first fluid conduit in a concentric arrangement, and a second end configured to couple to an inner wall of a second fluid conduit in a concentric arrangement. The adapter includes an inner wall that is tapered so as to provide a gradual sloping transition from an inner diameter at the first end to an inner diameter at the second end, thereby providing an aerodynamic flow path having reduced obstacles that would otherwise disrupt fluid flow. The gradual sloping transition may be linear or curvilinear.
