Abstract
A variable stator vane includes: a stator vane body which includes a radial end surface forming a clearance between the radial end surface and an outer peripheral surface of an inner casing; a rotation shaft which is rotatable so that an angle of the stator vane body with respect to a flow direction of a main stream of a working fluid is varied and which is connected to the radial end surface; and a curved surface portion which is formed on a vane surface adjacent to the radial end surface protruding radially outward from a circumference of the rotation shaft. A curvature radius of the curved surface portion is gradually decreased with distance away from the rotation shaft.
