Abstract (en)

An axial flow turbine (1) comprises a turbine casing (7) and a blade ring (2) having a shroud (5) being spaced apart from the casing thereby forming a radial tip clearance (8), through which a leakage flow is passing during operation of the turbine, wherein the casing (7) comprises a deflector (11) arranged outside the tip clearance and adapted to alter the cavity flow such that the leakage flow is turned from axial direction to radial direction and/or such that a downstream part of the cavity (8) is aerodynamically blocked by the deflector.
