Abstract
A turbomachine is described, which includes an annular space seal for at least reducing a fluid exchange between an annular space, through which a main stream flows, and at least one cavity situated radially on the inside and/or radially on the outside of the annular space, the annular space seal having a plurality of sheet-like elastic elements, which are oriented in the radial direction of the turbomachine and in the flow direction of a main stream flowing through the particular guide blade row, and thereby acting as a protective device for the rotor and/or stator during a relative axial displacement with respect to the stator in addition to providing an improved cavity coverage.
