Determining the characteristics of contact interaction between the two-row windshield wiper and a curvilinear glass surface

“…The reviewed literature [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] does not sufficiently describe other variants of rubber blades, except for the traditional single-row one. A variant of the rubber blade with an additional row of individual brushes located at an angle has shown useful practical results.…”

“…Our results testify to the hydrodynamic analysis of the proposed innovative blade. Studies [18][19][20][21][22][23] that considered the CFD problem were focused on the flow of air currents around windshield wipers but did not investigate the hydrodynamics of windshield wiper blades. The limitations of our research on hydrodynamics are manifested in the coverage of possible combinations of sizes and angles of inclination of individual brushes, their distance from the main row and physical and mechanical properties of rubber.…”

“…Despite the use of CFD, papers [18][19][20] are focused on the aerodynamics of windshield wipers, but do not provide data on hydrodynamics under various boundary conditions. The authors in works [21][22][23] seek to deepen the understanding of the transient aerodynamic effects of moving windshield wipers, using vortex simulation and dynamic grid methods to study the factors affecting the air flow and various aerodynamic forces. These works do not cover meteorological factors affecting the aerodynamics of the windshield wiper, for example, rain waves.…”
