More Information
Summary:A compressor 52 of a turbine engine, the compressor 52 including stator blades 62 with shrouds 101, the shrouds 101 being surrounded, at least in part, by rotating structure 103 and forming a shroud cavity 109 therebetween, the compressor 52 including: a plurality of tangential flow inducers 141 disposed within the shroud cavity 109; wherein each tangential flow inducer 141 comprises a surface disposed on the rotating structure 103 that is configured such that, when rotated, induces a tangential directional component to and/or increases the velocity of a flow of leakage exiting the shroud cavity 109.
