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".

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 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.

PURPOSES : This research aims to estimate the occurrence of hydroplaning on roads based on the road alignment types and rainfall intensity in Seoul. METHODS : Three types of data were used for estimation of hydroplaning in this study. The Inner Circulation Road (12.5 km) to the Bukbu Expressway (7.4 km) in Seoul was selected as the test road and data was collected for road information using a probe-vehicle. Precipitation was observed from Automatic Weather System in Seoul. These data were interpolated by applying Inverse Distance Weighted Methodology for hydroplaning estimation. Finally, the water depth information of the roads was observed using an RCM411 device. RESULTS : This study demonstrated that the cross slope with small-angle-tilt or vertical section with large-angle-tilt are the primary factors causing hydroplaning on the roads. The flow velocity on steep slope is high; however, large drainage lengths result in hydroplaning on the roads. CONCLUSIONS : This result can contribute towards the reduction of car accidents on rainy days. Furthermore, information regarding hydroplaning can be delivered to drivers more rapidly and precisely in the future.

PURPOSES : This study aims to evaluate the road safety of the super-elevation transition section of a left turn curve and suggest the minimum longitudinal grade of a super-elevation transition section to be used before and after a left curved section. METHODS : We evaluated the road condition by means of the safety-criterion-evaluation method involving side friction factors, and then solve the problem by introducing the minimum longitudinal grade criterion based on conditions described in the hydraulics literature. RESULTS : It was calculated that when a road satisfies hydroplaning conditions, the difference between side friction assumed and side friction demanded is less than -0.04. In this case, the safety criterion for the condition is unsatisfied. Conversely, when a road is in a normal state under either wet or dry conditions, it was calculated that the difference between side friction assumed and side friction demanded is more than 0.01. Thus, the safety criterion for this condition is found to be satisfied. After adjusting the minimum longitudinal grade applied to a super-elevation transition section, the hydroplaning condition can be eliminated and the safety criterion can be met for all sections. CONCLUSIONS : It is suggested that a minimum longitudinal grade should be provided on super-elevation transition sections in order to prevent hydroplaning.

초대형 점보 항공기의 출현으로 인하여 활주로 표면의 마찰저항 성능이 중요하게 되었다. 우천시나 겨울철과 같은 특정한 기후에서 활주로 표면은 수막현상과 마찰력의 손실이 발생하여 항공기의 브레이크 기능이 저하되어 제동력을 잃게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 많은 연구가 미국항공우주국, 미공군, 미연방항공청 등에 의해 수행되었다. 그 결과 다양한 종류의 마찰저항이 끈 포장표면 처리 방법이 개발되었다. 이러한 설계방법 가운데 대표적인 방법이 그루빙이다. 포장 그루빙 공법은 활주로 표면에 마찰저항을 증가시키고 수막현상을 감소시켜주는 장점이 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구는 인천국제공항의 A-2구간에 수행된 건식 그루빙의 시공결과를 평가한 것이다. 그루빙 시공중에 온도 게이지를 사용하여 포장체+의 온도를 측정하고 건식 그루빙중에 온도변화를 측정하였으며 컷트날의 마찰로 발생하는 그루빙 시공이 완료된 활주로에 물을 살수하고 뮤 미터와 수심측정기를 사용하여 마찰계수와 수심을 계측하였다. 시험결과, 그루빙은 포장체에 손상을 주지 않았으며 활주로 표면은 마찰저항이 증가하고 수막현상을 감소하는 효과가 현저하게 나타나서 건식 그루빙의 효과는 매우 큰 것으로 평가되었다.

A three-dimensional multi-phase flow is simulated around a smooth tire. This simulation is conducted by solving Navier-Stokes equation with a k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model. The numerical calculations are carried out by modeling a multi-phase free surface flow mixed with air and water at the inlet. The numerical solutions show an intuitively resonable behavior of water around a moving tire. The calculated pressure around the tire surface along the moving direction is presented. The moving velocities of the tire are chosen to be 30, 40, 60, and 70 km/h. The numerically simulated pressures around the tire are compared with existing experimental data. The comparison shows a new possible tool of analyzing a hydroplaning phenomenon for an automobile tire by means of a computational fluid dynamics.
