A flow discouraging system includes a stator assembly, a rotor assembly, and a plurality of fingers. The stator assembly includes one or more stationary components forming a side wall, the side wall including an annular groove defined by an outer axially-extending surface, an inner axially-extending surface, and a radial surface extending between the outer and inner axially-extending surfaces. The rotor assembly is disposed adjacent to and spaced apart from the stator assembly to form a portion of a cavity and includes an annular rim extending at least partially into the annular groove. The plurality of fingers is disposed in the annular groove and extends from the one or more stationary components the annular rim. |
