Abstract
A rotor for a gas turbine is disclosed. The rotor has a plurality of rotor disks arranged one behind the other on a rotor axis. The rotor extends between a compressor part and a turbine part, and has a central bore running between the compressor part and the turbine part. Fluid passages are arranged to conduct cooling air from the compressor part and direct cooling through the central bore and direct cooling air from the turbine part radially outward through the rotor. The rotor disks have fluid cavities that are connected to the central bore by having an outer diameter that is greater than the inside diameter of the central bore. The fluid cavities are subdivided into individual chambers by a plurality of radial ribs.
