Abstract: A hydrostatic seal configured to be disposed between relatively rotatable components includes a base. The seal also includes a seal housing. The seal further includes a shoe operatively coupled to the base and extending axially from a forward end to an aft end. The seal yet further includes a plurality of teeth extending radially from a sealing surface of the shoe, one of the teeth being a longest tooth that extends furthest radially from the sealing surface, the axial distance from the forward end of the shoe to the longest tooth being greater than a radial distance from a radial tooth tip to the sealing surface.

Abstract: A bearing assembly according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a bearing situated in a bearing compartment, a seal assembly that defines the bearing compartment, at least one deflector between the bearing and the seal assembly that is rotatable about an axis, and a coalescer at least partially extending about the at least one deflector to define a fluid passage. A method of sealing is also disclosed.

Abstract: An airfoil array is disclosed. The airfoil array may include an endwall, and a plurality of airfoils radially projecting from the endwall. Each airfoil may have a first side and an opposite second side extending axially in chord between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The airfoils may be circumferentially spaced apart on the endwall thereby defining a plurality of flow passages between adjacent airfoils. The airfoil array may further include a convex profiled region extending from the endwall adjacent to the first side of at least one of said plurality of airfoils near the leading edge of the at least one of said plurality of airfoils, and a concave profiled region in the endwall and extending across said at least one of said plurality of flow passages.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种翼型阵列。 翼型阵列可以包括端壁和从端壁径向突出的多个翼型件。 每个翼型件可以具有在前缘和后缘之间以弦状轴向延伸的第一侧和相对的第二侧。 翼型件可以在端壁上周向间隔开，从而在相邻翼型之间限定多个流动通道。 翼型阵列还可以包括凸出的轮廓区域，该凸形轮廓区域从靠近所述多个翼型件中的至少一个的前缘的所述多个翼型件中的至少一个的第一侧面的端壁延伸，并且在所述多个翼型件中的凹形轮廓区域 并且延伸穿过所述多个流动通道中的所述至少一个。
