Abstract

Described is a sealing arrangement for reducing leakage flows inside a rotary fluid-flow machine, preferably an axial turbomachine, having moving and guide blades, which are in each case arranged in at least one moving- or guide-blade row respectively and have blade roots, via which the individual moving and guide blades are connected to fastening contours. A sealing element having felt-like material is provided between at least two adjacent blade roots within a guide- or moving-blade row or between guide and/or moving blades and adjacent components of the fluid-flow machine.
