When the icebreaker sails in the polar region, it adopts continuous and ramming icebreaking operations. When the ice condition exceeds the design working condition, it uses the ramming icebreaking method to advance. The nonlinear icebreaking process and ...

When an airgun releases high-pressure gas underwater below an ice plate, it is observed that a bubble is formed rapidly while the ice plate is broken fiercely. In order to study the ice-water-gas interaction during this transient and violent phenomenon, ...

Stern-first operation under severe ice conditions (ridges) is one of the most effective modes to increase the operating efficiency of icebreakers and ice ships. However, when a ship overcomes the ridge astern, the propellers continuously interact with ic...

As a key parameter, icebreaking capability is often used to judge whether a polar ship could navigate in level ice at a certain speed. This paper presents two methods to calculate icebreaking capability. The first one is a static method based on the esti...
