What is really the problem with splash?

  • Engine bay water contamination
  • High water loads on critical components

Model Description

  • Incompressible flow
  • Multiphase (liquid/gas) - VOF
  • URANS (k-e, SST, Spalart-Almaras)
  • Large Eddy Simulation (Smagorinsky

subgridscale model)

  • Polyhedral mesh

Conclusion

  • Method to predict the tire water splash
  • Important parameters: amount, direction, and load
  • Good frequency agreement with experiments
  • Good qualitative agreement with experiments
  • More work is needed for a robust procedure
