Abstract

A mixed flow turbine includes a hub attached to a rotation axis and a plurality of rotor blades. Each of the plurality of rotor blades is attached to the hub in a radial direction, and the hub is rotated based on fluid supplied to a rotation region of the plurality of rotor blades. Each of the plurality of rotor blades has a curved shape that convexly swells on a supply side of the fluid.
