Abstract
An assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This assembly includes a rotating structure of the gas turbine engine, a stationary structure of the gas turbine engine and a volume formed by and extending between the rotating structure and the stationary structure. The rotating structure is rotatable about an axis. The rotating structure includes a seal land and a fluid nozzle. The stationary structure includes a seal element. The seal element is arranged with the seal land to form a seal assembly that seals an annular gap between the stationary structure and the rotating structure. The volume is adjacent the seal element and the seal land. The fluid nozzle is configured to direct a fluid jet out from the rotating structure and into the volume.
