Abstract: A rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a rotor disc having an axially extending rotor disc arm and a plurality of rotor blades extending radially outwardly from the rotor disc. A cover plate is located at an axial face of the rotor disc and at least partially retained at a rotor disc arm. The rotor disc and cover plate define a rotor cavity. A plurality of airflow openings extend into the cavity to allow a flow of air into the rotor cavity to thermally condition the rotor disc and the cover plate at the rotor cavity.

Abstract: A retaining ring for a turbomachine disk and coverplate assembly includes a ring body defining a coverplate interface side and an opposed disk lip interface side. A flow feature is defined by the ring body on the coverplate interface side to allow airflow between the turbomachine disk coverplate and the ring body such that a pocket defined between the coverplate and the turbomachine disk is in fluid communication with a conditioning flow pathway through the retaining ring.
