Numerical investigation of passive control flow to improve tire hydroplaning performance using a V-riblet non-smooth surface

As one of the major causes of traffic accidents, tire hydroplaning is a key driver safety concern. A tire model 205/55R16 was employed in this study, and a virtual simulation of a deformed half-tire domain for calculating hydroplaning speed was built by virtue of computational fluid dynamics. Water-...
