Abstract
An object is to provide a radial turbine blade that can reduce an impact loss of inflowing gas at a leading edge of the turbine blade and achieve a higher turbine efficiency, even in a case of a flow field corresponding to a low turbine operational velocity ratio U/C0 due to a throttling operation on a variable nozzle mechanism of a variable geometry turbocharger. In a radial turbine blade, a hub-side end portion Pa at a leading edgeof a turbine bladeis formed to be positioned more on a rear side in a rotation direction R of the turbine bladethan a shroud-side end portion Sc at the leading edge, and a straight line connecting between the shroud-side end portion Sc and the hub-side end portion Pa is inclined with respect to a straight line extending in a rotation axis direction from the shroud-side end portion Sc at the leading edgeonto a hubsurface by an angle in a range from 30° to 70° as viewed in the radial direction of the turbine blade
