Tire hydroplaning is one of the most important tire performances, especially for safety on wet road surface. And nowadays various methods such as FEM and FVM analysis are being applied to design and improve tire hydroplaning performance, along with on-vehicle test of tire hydroplaning. Conventional evaluation of tire hydroplaning has been done by comparing peak lateral acceleration and vehicle speed in time domain. But in this paper, frequency domain analysis of lateral acceleration when hydroplaning at high speed has been carried out to get the quantitative comparison between test tires. And it is concluded that the frequency spectrum analysis of lateral acceleration gives much better discrimination, as compared to the conventional time domain analysis of lateral acceleration and vehicle speed.

The new numerical procedure for hydroplaning has been developed by considering the following three important factors; fluid/structure interaction, tire rolling, and practical tread pattern. The tire was analyzed by FEM with Lagrangian formulation and the fluid is analyzed by FVM with Eulerian formulation. Since the tire and the fluid are modeled separately and their coupling is automatically computed by the coupling element, the fluid/structure interaction of the complex geometry such as the tire with the tread pattern can be analyzed practically. We verified the predictability of the hydroplaning simulation in the different parameters such as the water flow, the velocity dependence of hydroplaning, and the effect of the tread pattern on hydroplaning. In order to predict the streamline in the contact patch, the procedure of the global-local analysis was developed. Since the streamline could be predicted by this technology, we could develop the new pattern in a short period based on the principle; "make the stream line smooth".

The most important factor of the traffic accident on the wet road is a tire slip caused by hydroplaning. Meanwhile, hydroplaning characteristics are influenced very greatly by the vehicle velocity, so it is very important to reveal the relation between hydroplaning and the vehicle velocity. Since the experiment study is considerably limited, recently the numerical simulation using finite element method(FEM) and finite volume method(FVM) is widely adopted. In this paper, the effect of the vehicle velocity on the hydroplaning characteristics is investigated through the hydroplaning analysis using MSC/Dytran.

매년 장마철에는 수막현상으로 인한 교통사고가 빈번하게 발생한다. 본 연구는 수막 형성 억제를 위해 타이어 앞부분에 설치되는 공기 분사 장치의 성능을 평가하는 것으로서, 공기 분사에 의한 수막 형성 억제를 모사할 수 있는 실험 장치를 제작하고, 수막 형성 억제 과정을 가시화하여 공기 분사 장치의 성능을 파악하고자 한다. 실험 변수로서 노즐의 형상 3가지와 수막에 대한 분사각 3가지에 대해 상세히 그 영향을 조사하였으며, 그 결과 분사각은 10도(지면에 대해서는 80도), 노즐 형상은 일자형일 때 수막 억제 효과가 가장 큰 것으로 파악되었다.

The tread pattern of a tire has an important effect on tire performances such as handling, wear, noise, hydroplaning and so on. However, a finite element analysis of a patterned tire with detailed tread blocks has been limited owing to the complexity of making meshes for tread blocks and the huge computation time. The computation time has been shortened due to the advance in the computer technology. The modeling of tread blocks usually requires creating a solid model using a CAD software. Therefore it is a very complicated and time-consuming job to generate meshes of a patterned tire using a CAD model. A new efficient and convenient method for generating meshes of a patterned tire has been developed. In this method, 3-D meshes of tread pattern are created by mapping 2-D meshes of tread geometry onto 3-D tread surfaces and extruding them through tread depth. Then, the tread pattern meshes are assembled with the tire body meshes by the tie contact constraint. Residual aligning torque and frictional energy are calculated by using a patterned tire model and compared to the experimental results. It is shown that the calculated results of a patterned tire model are in a good agreement with the experimental ones.

도로 포장면과 타이어 사이의 마찰 저항을 미끄럼 저항이라고 한다. 미끄럼 저항은 도로 안전에 매우 중요한 요소이며, 다양한 요인이 복합적으로 작용한다. 미끄럼 저항 측정법의 한계를 극복하기 위해 컴퓨터 모델링을 이용한 해석 수행 결과, 속도가 증가하거나 수막두께가 두꺼울수록 미끄럼 저항은 감소하였다. 해석 결과를 이용해 수막두께와 속도에 따라 수막 위를 주행하는 타이어에 발생하는 양력을 계산할 수 있으며, IFI(International Friction Index) 미끄럼 저항 예측모델과 실측 미끄럼 저항과의 차이를 줄이기 위해 양력을 반영한 수정 IFI 미끄럼 저항 예측모델을 개발하였다. 예측모델과 실측 데이터의 상관관계 분석 결과, 기존 IFI 예측모델의 $R^2$는 0.49로, 수정 IFI 예측모델의 $R^2$는 0.64로 나타나 수정 IFI 예측모델이 기존모델에 비해 예측 효과가 우수하였다. 포장면의 상태에 따른 수막두께를 수정 예측모델에 반영할 경우 더욱 정확한 예측모델을 얻을 수 있을 것이다.
