A sealing arrangement for a turbine system includes a bucket having an outer tip and at least one bucket ridge extending radially outwardly from the outer tip, the at least one bucket ridge comprising an abradable material. Also included is a stationary shroud disposed radially outwardly from the outer tip of the bucket. Further included is at least one shroud ridge extending radially inwardly from the stationary shroud toward the outer tip of the bucket, the at least one shroud ridge comprising the abradable material.

1. A sealing arrangement for a turbine system comprising: a bucket having an outer tip and a plurality of bucket ridges extending radially outwardly from the outer tip, wherein the plurality of bucket ridges extend lengthwise along the outer tip in one or more first directions and comprises a concave or convex curved portion that faces toward a first or a second side between leading and trailing edges, and each of the plurality of bucket ridges comprises an abradable material;a stationary shroud disposed radially outwardly from the outer tip of the bucket, wherein the stationary shroud comprises an inner surface radially opposite from the outer tip; anda plurality of shroud ridges extending radially inwardly from the inner surface of the stationary shroud toward the outer tip of the bucket, wherein the plurality of shroud ridges extend lengthwise along the inner surface in one or more second directions crosswise to the one or more first directions, a width of a spacing between adjacent shroud ridges of the plurality of shroud ridges is greater than a width of each shroud ridge of the plurality of shroud ridges, the plurality of bucket ridges are staggered relative to the plurality of shroud ridges, and each of the plurality of shroud ridges comprises the abradable material. 2. The sealing arrangement of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of bucket ridges is entirely formed of the abradable material. 3. The sealing arrangement of claim 1, wherein the plurality of bucket ridges are aligned relatively parallel to each other along the outer tip of the bucket. 4. The sealing arrangement of claim 1, wherein the plurality of shroud ridges are aligned relatively parallel to each other along the inner surface of the stationary shroud. 5. The sealing arrangement of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of bucket ridges comprises the concave or convex curved portion that faces toward the first or second side. 6. The sealing arrangement of claim 1, wherein the plurality of bucket ridges comprises opposite ridge portions disposed along the opposite first and second sides about an intermediate space. 7. The sealing arrangement of claim 1, wherein the plurality of shroud ridges extend lengthwise along the inner surface in the one or more second directions acutely angled relative to the one or more first directions. 8. The sealing arrangement of claim 1, wherein each bucket ridge of the plurality of bucket ridges comprise a turning portion. 9. The sealing arrangement of claim 1, wherein the abradable material comprises a thermal barrier coating material. 10. The sealing arrangement of claim 9, wherein the thermal barrier coating material comprises yttria stabilized zirconia. 11. The sealing arrangement of claim 1, wherein each bucket ridge of the plurality of bucket ridges extends lengthwise at an acute angle between its adjacent pair of shroud ridges of the plurality of shroud ridges. 12. The sealing arrangement of claim 11, wherein each bucket ridge of the plurality of bucket ridges has a first end disposed proximate to a first one of the adjacent pair of shroud ridges and a second end disposed proximate to a second one of the adjacent pair of shroud ridges. 13. The sealing arrangement of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of bucket ridges extends lengthwise along the outer perimeter of the outer tip. 14. The sealing arrangement of claim 13, wherein the plurality of bucket ridges are disposed in series along the outer perimeter of the outer tip. 15. A method of sealing between two turbine components comprising: forming a first plurality of ridges along an outer tip of a first turbine component having opposite first and second sides between leading and trailing edges, wherein the first plurality of ridges extend radially outwardly from the outer tip, wherein the first plurality of ridges extend lengthwise along the outer tip in one or more first directions away from the first turbine component, and wherein each ridge of the first plurality of ridges comprises a concave or convex curved portion that faces toward the first or second side; andforming a second plurality of ridges along a second turbine component comprising an inner surface radially opposite from the outer tip, wherein the second plurality of ridges extend radially inwardly from the inner surface of the second turbine component toward the outer tip, and the second plurality of ridges extend lengthwise along the inner surface in one or more second directions crosswise from the one or more first directions, wherein the first and second plurality of ridges comprise an abradable material, wherein the first plurality of ridges is staggered relative to the second plurality of ridges. 16. The sealing arrangement of claim 8, wherein the turning portion comprises a J-shape or a hook shape. 17. The sealing arrangement of claim 8, wherein each bucket ridge of the plurality of bucket ridges comprise an angled portion. 18. The sealing arrangement of claim 17, wherein the angled portion is acutely angled to an adjacent shroud ridge of the plurality of shroud ridges. 19. A system, comprising: a turbine bucket having an outer tip and a plurality of bucket ridges extending radially outwardly from the outer tip, wherein the plurality of bucket ridges extend along the outer tip in one or more first directions, the turbine bucket has opposite first and second sides between leading and trailing edges, each of the plurality of bucket ridges comprises a concave or convex curved portion that faces toward the first or second side, opposite ridge portions disposed along the opposite first and second sides about an intermediate space, or a combination thereof, and the at least one bucket ridge comprises an abradable material; anda stationary shroud disposed radially outwardly from the outer tip of the bucket, wherein the stationary shroud comprises at least one shroud ridge extending along an inner surface radially opposite from the outer tip. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein each of the plurality of bucket ridges comprises the concave or convex curved portion. 21. The system of claim 19, wherein the plurality of bucket ridges comprises the opposite ridge portions disposed along the opposite first and second sides about the intermediate space. 22. The system of claim 19, wherein each of the plurality of bucket ridges comprises the concave or convex curved portion and the opposite ridge portions. 23. The system of claim 19, wherein the at least one shroud ridge extends lengthwise along the inner surface in one or more second directions crosswise to the one or more first directions, and the at least one shroud ridge comprises the abradable material. 24. The system of claim 23, wherein the at least one shroud ridge comprises a plurality of shroud ridges staggered relative to the plurality of bucket ridges.
