Abstract
A turbine includes: a turbine blade wheel housed in a housing unit; two turbine scroll flow paths wound radially outward with respect to the turbine blade wheel and connected at positions different from each other in a circumferential direction in an outer circumferential portion of the housing unit; and two scroll outlets each communicating one of the two turbine scroll flow paths with the housing unit, the two scroll outlets formed along the circumferential direction, at least one of the two scroll outlets having a height distribution in which a height in an axial direction is lower than a surrounding height at at least one of an upstream end or a downstream end.

A turbine comprising:
- a turbine blade wheel housed in a housing unit;
- two turbine scroll flow paths wound radially outward with respect to the turbine blade wheel and connected at positions different from each other in a circumferential direction in an outer circumferential portion of the housing unit;
- and
- two scroll outlets each communicating one of the two turbine scroll flow paths with the housing unit, the two scroll outlets formed along the circumferential direction, at least one of the two scroll outlets having a height distribution in which a height in an axial direction of at least one of an upstream end or a downstream end of the at least one of the two scroll outlets is lower than a height in the axial direction of a portion adjacent to the at least one of an upstream end or a downstream end in the circumferential direction of the at least one of the two scroll outlets.
