    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a retention assembly for a gas turbine component including a first and a second gas turbine wall respectively defining a first and a second surface. A retainer, positioned between the first and the second surfaces, includes a flange, which contacts the first surface. A plurality of fingers extends outwardly from the flange. A first finger portion extends away from the first turbine wall toward the second wall. A second finger portion connected to the first finger portion extends substantially parallel to the flange. The second finger portion of a first finger of the plurality of fingers is positioned in a first slot defined in the second surface. The second finger portion of a second finger of the plurality of fingers adjacent to the first finger is positioned on the second surface adjacent to the first slot.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a retention assembly for a stationary gas turbine component. The retention assembly includes a first stationary gas turbine wall having a first surface. A retention boss extends outwardly from the first surface. The retention assembly includes a second stationary gas turbine wall having a second surface. A retainer is positioned between the first and the second surfaces. The retainer includes a base wall positioned adjacent to the retention boss. A first sidewall extends outwardly from the base wall, and a second sidewall extends outwardly from the base wall. A first arm extends outwardly from the first sidewall, and a second arm extends outwardly from the second sidewall. Each of the first arm and the second arm includes a plurality of convolutions. At least one of the plurality of convolutions is in contact with the second surface.

    Abstract: In one aspect, the present subject matter is directed to a gas turbine sealing assembly that includes a first static gas turbine wall and a second static gas turbine wall. A seal is disposed between the first static gas turbine wall and the second static gas turbine wall. The seal includes a first seal layer defining a first seal layer aperture extending therethrough. A second seal layer defines an elongated slot extending therethrough. The elongated slot includes a first end and a second end. A third seal layer defines a third seal layer aperture extending therethrough. The second seal layer is positioned between the first seal layer and the third seal layer such that the first seal layer aperture is in fluid communication with the first end and the third seal layer aperture is in fluid communication with the second end.
