In liquid turbines these are also sometimes referred to as Wicket gates. These convert some of the pressure energy into momentum energy, but their main functions are to control the flow rate and impart an average tangential velocity on the fluid greater than or equal to the tangential velocity of the

Radial flow turbines are generally more preferred in small turbines because of simpler construction. Radial flow turbine rotor does not use aerofoil sections, as a result of which the rotor of radial flow turbine has a shape very similar to a centrifugal compressor and it uses 3D shape for energy
81:
It is connected to outlet of the turbine which assists fluid exiting the spiral casing. It is used because the exit pressure may becomes less than the stagnation pressure within the tail race and thus it may become difficult for the fluid to proceed downstream causing choked-flow. To make it exit

The passage between the blades has a converging-diverging profile. The majority of the head loss or pressure drop occurs as the working fluid passes through the turbine in radial outflow design. The runner is connected to the shaft which rotates along with it and thus this can be used for power

172:
Because the high pressure side is near the rotational axis (at low radius), it is possible to keep leakage losses lower than with other reaction turbines (Ljungström, axial or in-flow radial). This is more important in small turbines where complex rotating seal systems aren't cost

Radial flow turbines are mechanically robust compared to axial turbines and they are easy to configure. As a result of that they were considered for the application before axial turbine. They are more tolerant of overspeed and temporary temperature

Radial means that the fluid is flowing in radial direction that is either from inward to outward or from outward to inward, with respect to the runner shaft axis. If the fluid is flowing from inward to outward then it is called

from the tail race/involute it's necessary to provide diverging cross section so that the pressure can increase while the linear velocity greatly decreases.

Centrifugal head h= (u2^2 -u1^2 )/2g but u2>u1 which means that the centrifugal head imparted on fluid during the flow through runner is positive.

Centrifugal head h= (u2^2 -u1^2 )/2g but u2<u1 which means that the centrifugal head imparted on fluid during the flow through runner is negative.

In this turbine, the working fluid enters around the axis of the wheel and then flows outwards (i.e., towards the outer periphery of the wheel).
