Developments relating to a rotor arrangement

A rotor arrangement has a rotor-section and a circumferential moveable seal around the rotor-section. The arrangement being such that, for a given rotation rate, the rotor-section is subject to an associated radial growth and a corresponding related axial displacement, relative to the seal. The roto...

Zusammenfassung:A rotor arrangement has a rotor-section and a circumferential moveable seal around the rotor-section. The arrangement being such that, for a given rotation rate, the rotor-section is subject to an associated radial growth and a corresponding related axial displacement, relative to the seal. The rotor-section is provided with an axially-varying profile for off-setting said radial growth of the rotor-section, adjacent the circumferential seal, at said given rotation rate.
