Abstract
A turbocharger turbine wheel can include a hub that includes a rotational axis, a backdisk and a nose, where the rotational axis defines an axial coordinate (z) in a cylindrical coordinate system that includes a radial coordinate (r) and an azimuthal coordinate (Θ) in a direction of intended rotation about the rotational axis; and blades that extend outwardly from the hub, where each of the blades includes a hub profile, a shroud edge, a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side, and a suction side, where the hub profile includes a global maximum radius and a global minimum radius, and where, between the global maximum radius and the global minimum radius, in an axial direction from the backdisk to the nose, the hub profile includes a local minimum radius at a first axial coordinate position and a local maximum radius at a second axial coordinate position.
