Abstract
A fluid-flow machine includes at least one rotor having a rotary element with a plurality of rotor blades arranged on the rotary element, and a circumferential casing having a central axis and surrounding the rotor. The circumferential casing or a part connected thereto has an annular space surface on the inside, which delimits a flow duct of the fluid-flow machine radially outwards. The annular space surface has a structuring at least in one area adjoining a rotor on the circumferential side. At least one structuring of the annular space surface has, relative to the central axis of the circumferential casing, a circumferentially asymmetrical design.
