After completing my studies and earning my ATPL (A) frozen I'd like to compile a small thesis about aquaplaning. (yes I know - one more...
The fun part is that within all the available information either you get only simplyfied explanations or the very deep digging stuff like: what happens in the 1/150th of a second a tread block hits the runway surface.
Now I'm looking for information which a pilot is able to understand and can eventually use. More in detail I'd like to compile a written explanation of the hydrodynamics of the formation of aquaplaning.
Concerning the well known formulas for aquaplaning speed I'd now like to learn what is behind the ominous constant before the square root of the tire pressure. These constanst are stated in various discussions in this forum but the circumstances of the involved parameters are never enlightened.
I'd therefore thank you for any ISBN code of literature, links on the web on the subject or indications found in OPS-Manuals.
thanks
