Abstract
A gas turbine spacer disk includes a disk portion, a rim portion, a first fillet, and a second fillet. The disk portion is disposed about a rotational axis. The rim portion is disposed about the disk portion. An outer face of the rim portion defines a plurality grooves extending circumferentially about the rotational axis. The first fillet transitions from the rim portion to a first side of the disk portion. The second fillet transitions from the rim portion to a second side of the disk portion. The plurality of grooves includes a pair of first grooves having a first diameter and a pair of second grooves having a second diameter that is less than the first diameter. A first one of the first grooves overlaps in an axial direction with the first fillet. A second one of the first grooves overlaps in the axial direction with the second fillet.
