ICE RESISTANCE OF A CARGO VESSEL IN THE CONTINUOUS MODE OF ICEBREAKING. TESTS OF THREE GEOSIM MODELS IN ICE

During the last two years three geometrical similar models of an icebreaking cargo vessel have been tested in the continuous mode of icebreaking. The analysis was done according to three different formulas for the resistance, published in recent literature. The formula which best explains the phenomena physically looks to be the most reliable one. Consequently this formula was used for predicting the ice resistance of the ship.
