REYNOLDS NUMBER FOR BROKEN ICE

Investigates theoretically the viscosity of open-pack ice drifting on the sea surface, assuming it to be isotropic. The ice may be considered a layer of viscous compressible fluid whose motion can be characterized by a Reynolds number. A formula for the resistance force of such ice to a vessel's movement through it is developed by the method of modeling according to the law of gravitational similitude.
