Abstract

Improving a cooling capacity is the most important technique to develop highly efficient automotive brake rotors. We have developed new methods of analyzing flow phenomena in vent holes of brake rotors. Using these analysis methods, we have realized new brake rotors with a higher cooling performance than those of conventional brake rotors, by 18%.
