Abstract

A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section and a turbine section in axial flow arrangement defining an axially extending, longitudinal centerline, and arranged as a rotor and a stator. A floating seal assembly is disposed at an interface of the rotor and the stator to seals at least portions of the rotor and the stator relative to each other. The floating seal assembly includes one or more inertial damping elements tuned to one or more frequencies.
