thanks for the comments so far

... just - not exactly what i've been looking for. Some more enlighting came yesterday after a visit to our national Goodyear/Dunlop dealer.

Found some interesting grafs and the source of measured skid coeficients on dusty surface after a light rain! Gets down to .3 and explains viscous aquaplaning.

Still working on the hydrodynamics under the footprint. I started looking in places like - ship engineering ...

Aquaplaning by itself suggests some fun ideas. If you could hold your speed up you could land on a lake or so ... but I suspect that a solid layer under the water has something to do with aquaplaning on a runway. And my guess is that passengers would not jump from the door at 150 kt.

Anyone knows about hydrodynamics involved when the footprint of the tire displaces the water?

Thanks for any enlightment

OverRun

Thanks for the link. Been there seen it.

Interesting site about the problems involved with landing on a wet runway. Once seen from the road engineers side as prof emery seems to be a capacity among the builders.
