dc.description.abstract | This paper presents experimental and Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) investigations of the flow and heat
transfer in ventilated brake discs. The validation CFD model is done using the straight blade (baseline design) configuration
with available experimental data. Development of an experiment rig with basic measuring devices and uncertainty
calculation are discussed. Then, unidirectional racing blade configuration is then further focused on the improvement of
the brake cooling using the similar numerical setting. Conventional and streamlined ventilated brake disc are simulated
using commercial CFD software FLUENTTM and the parameters such as mass flow and heat transfer characteristics are
compared. The streamlined ventilated blade design shows a significant improvement in terms of the mass flow and heat
transfer coefficient compared to the conventional unidirectional design. This improvement is only achieved with enhancing
the aerodynamic characteristics of the internal passage blade and without any additional mass at the disc brake. | en_US |
