Overview

Analysis assesses ice ridge loads and icebreaker design efficacy, indicating improved safety and efficiency.

Key Points

  • The innovative method predicts ice resistance with deviations of 9.85% for layered ice and 10.48% for the keel.
  • Modeling the ice ridge involved a hybrid empirical-numerical method to ensure accurate load determination.
  • Ablation studies examined the impact of varying ice ridge shapes, retreat distances, and ship drafts during ramming.
  • Findings provide insights for rapid navigability assessments and better icebreaker design strategies.
