    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to seal assemblies for a turbomachine. The seal assemblies include stationary and rotating components and at least one interface between the stationary and rotating components. In some examples, seal assembly includes an oleophilic coating disposed between the stationary and rotating components. The seal assembly may include a surface texture to enhance the oleophilicity of the surface coating disposed between the stationary and rotating components. In other examples, the seal assembly includes an oleophobic coating disposed between the stationary and rotating components. The seal assembly may include a surface texture to enhance the oleophobicity of the surface coating. During operation, the oleophilic seal assembly features retain lubricant between the stationary and rotating components and the oleophobic seal assembly features inhibit the escape of lubricant from the contact regions between the stationary and rotating components.

    Abstract: A hollow plank of a combustor liner defining a combustion chamber including an inner wall having a plurality of inner openings and one or more inner holes, an outer wall having one or more outer openings and a plurality of outer holes, a plurality of lateral walls coupled to the inner wall and the outer wall to define a cavity, and a partition wall connected to the plurality of lateral walls and dividing the cavity into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity. The one or more outer openings communicate with the first sub-cavity and communicate through a plurality of tubes with the second sub-cavity. The plurality of inner openings communicate with the second sub-cavity and communicate with the first sub-cavity through one or more bypass tubes. The first sub-cavity or the second sub-cavity, or both, are frequency tuned to reduce combustion dynamic frequencies.
