    Abstract: A wet brake assembly and method for cooling separator plates in a wet brake assembly are disclosed. The wet brake assembly may comprise a hub rotatable about an axis and a brake pack. The hub may include a plurality of legs that define a plurality of troughs in the hub. The brake pack may include a plurality of friction disks disposed around and rotatable with the hub, and a plurality of stationary separator plates. Each separator plate may define a gap with at least one of the friction disks.
