2D model test using synthetic ices have been carried out in order to provide information on ice submerging regarding an icebreaker advancing into level ice. A polypropylene plate has been used for a synthetic ice. The ship was rigidly towed by the carriage and advances in presawn ice with the constant speed. The ice forces and the motions of ice submerging in different ship and ice conditions such as the ship speed and size of the pre-swan ice were measured. The measured data showed the motions and the ice forces of ice submerging depend on the geometrical conditions between the ship and the pre-sawn ice as well as the ship speed. 2D numerical model that enables simulations of ice force on the icebreaker that is advancing into pre-sawn ices were developed by physically based modelling. The contact force and the friction force act on the contact point between ship and ice. Buoyancy and fluid force described by the simple formula were considered as the hydrodynamic force acting on the ice floe. The numerical results are compared with experimental data. The ice force of the ice submerging of the numerical results roughly agreed with the experimental data qualitatively. The influence of the ship and ice conditions on the ice submerging are investigated. The hydrodynamic force induced by the ice submerging are important role to estimate the ice force as well as friction force. INTRODUCTION In order to improve the structural components and maneuverability of the ice-going vessels, it is vital issue to estimate the ice force (pressure) distributions acting on the ship. The model tests and full-scale measurements have been generally used to evaluate the performance and estimate the ice force for the ice-going ships. A local ice force on the hull is implicitly estimated by the structural response derived by the strain gages on the structural members in the full-scale measurement (e.g. Frederking, 2003). The panel censers installed on the outer hull is used to measure the local ice pressure on the hull (e.g. Izumiyama et al., 1999). The data obtained from the full-scaled measurements and the model tests were not enough to investigate the detail of the local ice force due to the limitations of special and time resolution of the measurement system and the cost inefficiency of full-scale measurements and the model tests using the ice tank. The distributions of the local ice force around a ship hull, therefore, have not been fully understood yet. The synthetic ice is alternatively used for model tests in towing tank with instead of the refrigerated ice in the ice tank. The synthetic ice is made of artificial material such as polypropylene or paraffin wax. The size and shape of a synthetic ice can be easily controlled. A synthetic ice can be used repeatedly. Therefore, the model test using synthetic ice is cost POAC’15 Trondheim, Norway Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions June 14-18, 2015 Trondheim, Norway
