EXPERMINAL RESEARCH INTO SHALLOW FLOWS OF RAIN-WATER ON THE AIRPORT RUNWAYS

Abstract

Description

Hydroplaining is associated with the complate loss of the grip of a tyre because of the presence of a rain-water film between the tyres of a moving vehicle ( an automobile, an aircraft, ect.) and the road surface. In this case, a vehicle becomes uncontrollabe .As a result, a rain-water film of several millimeters is formed under the wheel, and a vehicle actually floats up.

Keywords
