Abstract

In a radial turbine scroll, an operating gas is led to flow in the radial direction from a spiral scroll formed in a turbine casing into turbine moving blades of a turbine rotor, which is positioned on the inner side of the scroll, so as to act on the turbine moving blades, and then led to flow outside in an axial direction, thereby rotatively driving the turbine rotor, wherein the scroll 4 has a partition plate 20 a length of a certain range on a line of a tongue portion formed on the inner periphery of a gas inlet portion or has a reduced height between scroll side walls at an outlet portion of a tongue portion 21 formed on the inner periphery of a gas inlet portion of the scroll.
