Abstract
An axial-flow turbine has an exhaust diffuser including a hub-side tube and a tip-side tube. In the exhaust diffuser, front struts and rear struts are placed to cross a flow of working fluid. A wake generated behind the front strut diverts from the rear strut and passes through a gap between a pair of the rear struts. Otherwise, a wake generated behind the front strut hits against the front face of the rear strut. The front struts are equal to or multiple of the rear struts in number.
