The present study examines the phenomenon of heat distribution on the disc while braking. An attempt wasmade to study numerically, using CFD, the effect of vane-shape on the flow-field and heat transfer characteristics of adisc brake rotor for different configurations and at different speeds. Heat distribution on the brake disc is caused by thechange of the kinetic energy into the mechanical energy. The energy change occurs during the process of braking due tothe friction between the surfaces of the disc with the caliper pad. Friction results in the increase of temperature. Thisphenomenon is very important to be highlighted in order to learn the characteristics of heat distribution occurring on thevarious models of rotor discs. Thermal analysis of the rotor of disc brake is aimed to evaluate the performance of discbrake rotor of a car under different braking conditions. Also, the analysis for the variation in the fin configuration ofvented disc brake is intended. Numerical simulations are conducted to determine the desired parameters. The simulationresults would be useful for identifying the influence of different models of disc brake with regard to the distribution ofheat.
