Further details regarding the offset of the axial position and the radial position of the boundary wall point 26 with a minimum radius of curvature in the circumferential direction u or u / t are described below with reference to FIG. 4. In Fig. 4 is on the horizontal axis an absolute value ⁇ / X K S between the axial distance ⁇ (see Fig.
