Modeling of Tire-Road Surface Interaction under Wet Conditions | Asian Journal of Pure and Applied

The prevalence of wet-weather accidents caused by inadequate fluid friction induced by tyre hydroplaning has been an issue for many road authorities for many years. Any traction breakdown during high-speed driving results in tragic accidents and the loss of the majority of human lives. Since the 1920s, many researchers have concentrated on issues of fluid friction measurement and prediction, as well as the creation of measures to prevent wet-weather accidents. Despite advances in measuring techniques, understanding of hydroplaning mechanisms has remained stagnant in recent decades due to a lack of progress in theoretical and numerical models that can describe and replicate the phenomena. The goal of this research is to use the finite element approach to describe a tire-road interaction. In wet situations, investigate fluid friction forces and hydroplaning effects. The results show that as the water film thickness and tyre inflation pressure increase, the hydroplaning speed decreases. For example, a water thickness range of 1mm to 10mm generated a speed of 48.1m/s to 46.3m/s, while a tyre pressure range of 100kPa to 250kPa generated a speed of 42269.8m/s to 42261m/s. Fluid friction force was also shown to decrease when tyre sliding speed and water film thickness increased.
