<p>A brake rotor and methods for cooling and/or removing debris from a brake rotor are provided. The rotor includes a plurality of vanes (112, 114) provided between annular braking surfaces (104, 106) which define a plurality of corresponding flow channels (110) between at least a pair of vanes. The rotor includes a plurality of first slots (102) provided on a first annular braking surface and a plurality of second slots provided on a second annular braking surface corresponding to the plurality of first slots. At least one first opening (108) may be included within one or more slots. Similarly, at least one second opening may be provided within each second slot. Each second opening of each second slot may correspond substantially to and fluid communicate with a first opening of a first slot.</p> |
