Numerical analysis of hydroplaning and veer-off risk of dual-tyre on a wet runway

ABSTRACTThe phenomenon of hydroplaning poses a risk when landing an aircraft on a wet runway. This study developed a finite element (FE) framework comprising a dual-tyre model, water film models, a runway model, and an interaction model to investigate wet runway landings. The dual-tyre model was created with a geometric description and material properties. Water film models for even and uneven water depths were constructed based on a coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian algorithm. The runway model was obtained through surface scanning and 3D reconstruction. The interaction model was calculated using the power spectrum density and viscoelastic property of rubber. Based on the FE approach, the effect of the slip ratio on the hydroplaning phenomenon was discussed. The results indicated that hydroplaning speed generally increases with the slip ratio. Furthermore, single- and dual-tyre wet runway landings with an even water film depth were simulated, and the results revealed similar accuracy between the two landing types. Next, the study of dual-tyre landings indicated that landings in varying depths of water face the risks of hydroplaning and veering off simultaneously. The FE approach was further used to analyse dual-tyre landings on runways with a yaw angle.
