Abstract

Increasing vehicle operating speeds place greater thermal and mechanical demands on automotive tires, making the assessment of tire behavior under varying speed conditions essential for safety and durability. This study investigates the effects of speed, load, and inflation pressure on the temperature distribution and durability of the Bridgestone ECOPIA EP150 tire using numerical simulation in Ansys Workbench. The results indicate that the shoulder region exhibits the highest temperature, which rises with increasing vehicle speed. Inflation pressure and vertical load significantly influence the contact area and stress distribution. An inflation pressure of 34 psi is identified as optimal, limiting localized heat generation and maintaining tire durability under realistic operating conditions. The findings provide practical guidance for tire selection and usage, particularly in tropical climates, and support improved safety and operational efficiency. Furthermore, the simulation-based approach demonstrates the effectiveness of numerical analysis as a predictive tool for evaluating tire performance under complex operating conditions, reducing reliance on extensive experimental testing.

Abstract

Hydrokinetic turbines represent a promising solution for renewable energy generation in low-velocity rivers where conventional hydropower systems are not technically or economically feasible. Despite increasing interest in ducted hydrokinetic turbines, experimental validation of turbines employing the NACA 4415 airfoil under low-flow river conditions remains limited. This study presents the design, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, and experimental validation of a horizontal-axis ducted hydrokinetic turbine using the NACA 4415 airfoil, specifically optimized for low-velocity river applications. Numerical simulations and field experiments were conducted for water velocities ranging from 0.89 to 1.03 m/s to evaluate turbine performance in terms of rotational speed, torque, power output, and power coefficient. The results indicate that the four-bladed ducted turbine achieved a maximum experimental power output of 67 W at a flow velocity of 1.03 m/s, corresponding to a power coefficient of 0.32. The diffuser-augmented configuration enhanced flow acceleration and rotational speed compared to theoretical predictions and numerical simulations, although performance discrepancies were observed due to hydrodynamic losses and mechanical inefficiencies. Overall, the findings demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of NACA 4415 ducted hydrokinetic turbines for decentralized renewable energy generation in low-flow river environments, contributing valuable experimental data for the development and optimization of small-scale hydrokinetic systems.
