The present invention relates to a hydrodynamic brake for a vehicle. A stator (10) and a rotor comprises each an annular recess (14) and a plurality of vanes (18) which are provided in the respective parts of the recess (14). The rotor is arranged to rotate in a direction of rotation such that a relatively high pressure is created on a first side of the respective vanes (18) of the stator (10) and a relatively low pressure of a second side of the respective vane (18) of the stator (10). This pressure difference is used for the supply and the discharge, respectively, of the fluid. The respective supply opening (26) is provided in the stator in the vicinity of said second side of a respective vane and the respective discharge opening (28) is provided in the stator in the vicinity of said second side of a respective vane.
