Abstract:
      The VOF (Volume of Fluid) models were applied in this paper to simulate the hydro-planing of tires using CFD.A physical model (tire,water,boundary conditions and initial conditions) and RNG k-ε turbulent model were established; the computational domain was meshed by multi-block grid technique,the hydrodynamic force and flow field around tire were simulated specially in three velocities.Finally,after comparing the results from CFD method with experiments by foreign authors and relative document literature,a conclusion shows that CFD is a powerful tool to calculate and analysis the hydro-planing of tires.
