Gas turbine engine systems involving hydrostatic face seals are provided. In this regard, representative turbine assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a turbine having a hydrostatic seal formed by a seal face and a seal runner.
Abstract:
Disclosed are assemblies and articles for restricting leakage of a pressurized fluid from a cavity. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a vane support defines at least one land, and an interrupted rim region of a bladed rotor assembly defines at least one segmented ring. The at least one segmented ring protruding outward from the bladed rotor assembly in the interrupted rim region, spans across the cavity and cooperates with the at least one land to define a seal.
