Abstract
A housing for a gas turbine is disclosed. At least one wall element is housed on the housing so as to move, which limits a flow channel of the housing in the radial direction from a rotational axis of a rotor of the gas turbine toward the exterior. The housing includes at least one variably adjustable guide blade which extends through the wall element into the flow channel. The wall element can be moved between a sealing setting, in which the wall element makes contact at least in a partial area of a side of a blade leaf of the guide blade facing toward the wall element, and an open setting, in which the blade leaf and the wall element are spaced some distance apart from one another. A gas turbine as well as a process for operating a gas turbine is also disclosed.
