Hull-ice friction: correlating model hull friction to resistance in ice
Model test results from ship resistance in ice experiments are presented to demonstrate the effect that the kinetic coefficient of friction between the hull and ice (hull-ice friction) has on measured resistance. Experiments are conducted using a 1:30 scale model icebreaker. Results show the hull-ic...

| Summary: | Model test results from ship resistance in ice experiments are presented to demonstrate the effect that the kinetic coefficient of friction between the hull and ice (hull-ice friction) has on measured resistance. Experiments are conducted using a 1:30 scale model icebreaker. Results show the hull-ice friction coefficient of a model hull has a significant effect on measured resistance. Total ice resistance is observed to decrease 6% to 8% for every 0.01 decrease in hull-ice friction below the target value of 0.05. For every 0.01 increase in hull-ice friction above the target value, there is a 4% to 5% increase in total ice resistance. Peer reviewed: Yes NRC publication: Yes |
