“…Cho et al [24] presented a 3-D patterned tire hydroplaning model for determination of braking distance for tire with different slip conditions over a smooth pavement surface. Kim and Jeong [25] presented a rotating, patterned tire hydroplaning model with different yaw angles. The present study is a complementary work to the aforementioned research analyses by computing hydroplaning speeds at completely rolling and locking conditions of the wheel.…”

“…At present, the finite element (FE) simulation technology based on the Couple Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) algorithm has become an important method for hydroplaning analysis. Many researchers conducted numerical studies to reveal the influence of tire pattern characteristics on hydroplaning behaviors [4][5][6]. The purpose of these studies is for the safety design of tires, but the influence of pavement surface topography is not well modeled.…”

The hydroplaning propensity on the steel bridge deck pavement (SBDP) is higher than ordinary road pavements. In this study, the objective is to develop a hydroplaning model to evaluate the hydroplaning behaviors for SBDPs. To achieve this goal, a finite element (FE) model of a 3D-patterned radial tire model was developed at first, and the grounding characteristics of tire on the SBDP were calculated as an initial condition for the follow-up hydroplaning analysis. The X-ray CT scanning device and Ostu thresholding method were used for image processing of pavement surface topography, and the 3D FE model of SBDP was established by the reverse stereological theory and voxel modeling technique, which can accurately reconstruct the pavement morphology. A fluid model was established to simulate the dynamic characteristics of water film between the tire and SBDP. On this basis, the tire–fluid–pavement interaction model was developed based on the CEL (Couple Eulerian–Lagrangian) algorithm, and it was verified by the hydroplaning empirical equations. Finally, the hydroplaning behaviors on the SBDP were studied. The findings from this study can provide a tool for hydroplaning evaluation on SBDPs, and will be helpful to improve the driving safety of SBDP in rainy days.

“…The results indicated that the increase in average void in tire grooves improved hydroplaning and the void distribution and tread pattern had significant influence on hydroplaning. Kim and Jeong 11 and Fwa et al 12 used numerical simulation to investigate the effects of the number, width, and depth of lateral grooves on hydroplaning speed. It was found that increasing the void in tread grooves would enlarge the water flow channel and improve the tire performance against hydroplaning.…”

Tire tread pattern is a crucial parameter to prevent hydroplaning. In this study, numerical modeling was used to investigate tire hydroplaning based on flow–structure interaction. The empirical model of hydroplaning speed published in the literature was used to validate the computational model. Analysis of water flow velocity and turbulent flow energy revealed that lateral grooves of the tire significantly influenced water drainage capacity. Based on the relationship between water flow vector and lateral groove shape, a combination of Kriging surrogate model and simulated annealing algorithm was used to optimize lateral groove design to minimize hydrodynamic lift force. Four geometry parameters of lateral grooves were selected as the design variables. Based on design of experiment principle, 12 simulation cases based on the optimal Latin hypercube design method were used to analyze the influence of design variables on hydrodynamic lift force. The surrogate model was optimized by the simulated annealing algorithm to optimize tire tread pattern. The results indicated that at the same water flow speed, the optimized lateral grooves can reduce hydrodynamic lift force by 14.05% and thus greatly improve safety performance of the tire. This study proves the validity and applicability of using numerical modeling for solving the complex design of tire tread pattern and optimization problem.
