Abstract

This paper explores hydrodynamic effects on cars in wet-road conditions and anti-skid strategies, focusing on tire tread designs. Wet roads pose safety risks due to reduced tire-road friction from water films. The paper analyses six tire tread patterns: longitudinal, transverse, combined, block, asymmetric, and directional. Each pattern’s structure, working principle, and application in different environments are discussed. Longitudinal and directional patterns efficiently drain water at high speeds, reducing hydroplaning. Block and asymmetric patterns enhance traction on snow/ice through mechanical interlock and flexible materials. Transverse and deep-block patterns suit off-road/muddy terrains for grip on loose surfaces. The Reynolds lubrication equation and CFD methods like RANS, LES, and VOF provide theoretical tools for modelling water film pressure. Practical design cases show cost-effective, extreme-weather, and vehicle-type-specific optimisations. Findings improve understanding of wet-road friction and offer insights for safer family car designs. Future research may focus on advanced fluid-structure models, innovative materials, and intelligent control systems for better anti-skid technologies.
