Aquaplaning is a phenomenon that occurs when a layer of water
builds up between the tyres of a vehicle and the road surface, leading to a
loss of traction and preventing the vehicle from responding to control inputs
such as steering, braking, or accelerating. This can lead to serious road
accidents, making it crucial to study tyre-pavement interactions to devise
optimal methods for preventing hydroplaning. This paper presents a study of the
expulsion process of viscous fluid from under a solid plane using the general
differential equation of pressure in the viscous fluid layer. The analysis focuses
on the aquaplaning process of an automobile's wheel rolling on a wet path. The
study also considers a tyre with a tread composed of insulated profile blocks
of circular shape. Key findings include the identification of critical speeds
for aquaplaning and the effects of tyre tread design and water depth. The
results have significant implications for improving tyre designs and enhancing
vehicle safety on wet roads.
