Gas turbine engines and rotor arms thereof are described. The gas turbine engines include a first disk, a second disk, and a rotor arm arranged between and connecting the first disk to the second disk, wherein a cavity is defined at least between the rotor arm and the first disk. The rotor arm includes a radial portion having an inner diameter end and an outer diameter end, an axial portion having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the axial portion is connected to the outer diameter end of the radial portion, at least one entrance flow path defined within the radial portion extending from the inner diameter end to the outer diameter end, and at least one exit aperture arranged proximate the second end of the axial portion.
