Original Abstract Submitted
An impeller () for a radial turbine comprises a substantially conical hub (), and a plurality of impeller blades () arranged along an outer periphery of the hub at regular intervals, wherein a tip end (D) of each impeller blade is provided with a fin () projecting in a thickness-wise direction of the impeller blade over a prescribed region (X) extending along a chord length thereof from a first point (P) at a first distance from an upstream end (A) of the tip end to a second point (P) at a second distance from a downstream end (D) of the tip end.
