Think hydroplaning but with a different fluid. This is the equivalent of grooved pavement, and siping on tires. Give the fluid somewhere else to go and you get better contact. In the case of braking, that fluid is hot air, and helps carry the heat away from the rotor/pads. If "wizard words" isn't google-able I probably don't have a link.
