Abstract
A rotary machine includes a seal device capable of restricting a flow of a fluid in a clearance between a stationary member and a rotational member. The seal device includes a pressure loss element mounted to the stationary member, a first non-contact type seal protruding from the rotational member toward the pressure loss element and facing the pressure loss element via a first gap, and a second non-contact type seal protruding from the stationary member toward the rotational member, facing the rotational member via a second gap, and being positioned on one side of the pressure loss element in a flow direction of the fluid. The seal device also includes a contact type seal protruding from the stationary member toward the rotational member and being disposed downstream of the pressure loss element and the second non-contact type seal in the flow direction of the fluid.
