“…Only 20° sector of the ventilated vane rotor is considered due to periodic nature of the rotor brake discs. The dimensions of circular pillar vane are similar to the model in literature [1]. Fig 2 and 3 shows the circular pillared and modified taper radial vane rotors created in CATIA modeling tool.…”

In the present work, an attempt is made to study the effect of vane-shape rotor on the flow-field and heat transfer characteristics for different configurations of vanes for different running speeds using commercial CFD tool. Two types of rotor configurations circular pillared (CP) and diamond pillared radial vane (DP) were considered for the numerical analysis. A rotor segment of 20° was considered for the numerical analysis due to rotational symmetry. The pre processing is carried out with the help of CFD and analysis is carried out using ANSYS. The governing equations namely conservation of mass, momentum and energy are solved for the analysis. The predicted results are validated by the experimental studies available in the literature. The mass flow rate, heat dissipated by the circular pillared vanes are compared with the diamond pillared vanes. The heat dissipation rate through the diamond pillared vanes is more uniform at higher speeds.

“…1(c)) provides the worst overall cooling performance due mainly to its poor pumping capacity [17,18], whereas more uniform temperature distribution exists in its rubbing discs [19]. This type of ventilated brake disc is mainly used in heavy-duty trucks to prevent catastrophic thermal cracking of the disc induced http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2014.09.060 0017-9310/Ó 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

“…Consequently, this type of brake disc is the most popular choice [16]. Numerous studies have been conducted to characterize its thermo-fluidic characteristics [3,14,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] and to improve its cooling performance by modifying the cross-section and arrangement of radial vanes [17][18][19][32][33][34][35][36]. It is demonstrated that cooling flow turns to the counter-rotating direction with respect to the brake disc axis before entering the ventilated channel.…”
