An engine casing (16) encloses a rotor (15) and has a wall the inner surface (17) of which has slots (20) therein. An abradable lining (19) is attached to the inner surface (17) of the wall and extends across the slots (20). The abradable lining (19) is fluid permeable so that in operation a fluid passes through the lining (19) and recirculates in the slots (20). Recirculation of the fluid within the slots (20) increases the aerodynamic efficiency of the rotor (15).
