Research on Wading Mobility of a Certain Type of Special Vehicle Based on MPS Method

In order to study the wading mobility of a certain type of special vehicle, a high-precision dynamic model of the special vehicle is built. The vehicle dynamic model is verified by in-situ acceleration test and traction test. Through the dam-break experiment and wet road traction test, the feasibility and reliability of calculating the water impact pressure, buoyancy and solving the fluid–solid coupling problem based on the moving particle semi-implicit algorithm (MPS) are verified. Then, based on the MPS algorithm, a multi-body dynamics-fluid analysis simulation model is built to simulate and analyze the vehicle mobility under the static water wading condition and the water flow lateral impact condition. The relationship between the maximum speed of the vehicle at different water depths and gears under the static water wading condition the and the relationship between the lateral offset of the vehicle and the flow velocity and the deflection angle of the vehicle entering the water in the lateral impact condition are obtained.
