Abstract
A sealing structure for sealing a gap between a combustor liner having an outer surface and a surrounding structure surrounding the combustor liner, includes: an annular sealing member held on the surrounding structure so as to be in contact with the outer surface of the combustor liner. The sealing member includes a plurality of sealing segments arranged in an annular configuration. The sealing structure seals the gap around the combustor liner of the combustor and absorbs, the difference in thermal expansion between the combustor liner and the surrounding structure.
