As part of the development loop of commercial tire designs, the present research aims at improving the simulation of tire hydroplaning. To tackle this complex fluid-structure interaction problem numerically, a robust explicit coupling scheme is developed that relies on a rigorous control of the energy artificially introduced at the interface by the staggering process. Through a dynamic adaptation of the coupling time step size, the time efficiency of the hydroplaning computation is improved for real tire designs while maintaining a user-defined level of accuracy.
