Abstract
A seal assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a seal that has an elongated seal body having a seal face that bounds a gas path and an opposed impingement face. The seal body defines an internal cavity extending in a circumferential direction between opposed mate faces and extending in a radial direction between walls of the seal body defining the seal and impingement faces. A baffle divides the internal cavity into at least a first region and a second region. The first region has a first section extending transversely from a second section. The first section has a component in the radial direction, and the second section has a component in an axial direction such that the second region is defined between the baffle and the walls of the seal body defining the seal face. A method of sealing is also disclosed.
