What is Scaling Principles for Model Testing in Old Brash Ice Channel about?
Climate warming sets higher requirements for sustainability in ship industry, which fuels the introduction of stricter power restrictions and new types of ship hull design. The new designs invite us to reconsider the principles in model scale testing in ice, which is the state-of-the-art method to predict vessel's ice performance prior to its construction. Ice model testing principles were originally developed for the evaluation of performance in level ice at slow speed, but currently those principles are widely applied for ice model testing in other ice conditions as well. The forces forming the vessel resistance in a brash ice channel are different compared to forces forming the vessel resistance in level ice. In consequence, the current model scale testing principles are suboptimal when predicting vessel's performance in an old, frequently operated brash ice channel, as our earlier research indicates that the prediction is conservative especially for modern merchant ship bow shapes with high stem angles. An old brash ice channel is especially interesting, as it is the determining ice condition in Finnish-Swedish Ice Class Rules ice class granting process. This paper addresses th
