Brake disc with (Longitudinal Vortex Generator)
First Claim
1. A disc for a disc brake, comprising(a) a pair of annular members arranged coaxially with respect to each other, each annular member having extending from one side thereof an annular braking application surface for braking engagement by a braking means and a back surface opposite to said braking application surface;
- (b) a plurality of connection elements connecting said pair of annular members and defining ventilation channels for passage of a flow of cooling air;
(c) a vortex generating device disposed along said passage of the flow of cooling air, generating longitudinal vortices that has a central axis in the downstream direction.

Abstract
A ventilated brake disc comprising a pair of annular members, each having a brake application surface and a back surface, a plurality of connection members that connects said pair of annular members and defines, together with said back surface, ventilation channels for passage of cooling air, and a plurality of longitudinal vortex generators (LVG) disposed along the passage of cooling air that generates vortices with a central axis in the downstream direction of the cooling air.
