Simulation modeling of the process of ice formation during the movement of a vessel in a layer of grated ice

An important task in the study of ice navigation of transport vessels is to study the movement of the vessel in the layer of grated ice. This task is not fully solved in previous work on glacial engineering. Field and model studies made it possible to create a physical picture of the interaction of the layer of grated ice with the hull of the ship with the formation of an ice pad in front of the bow of the ship's tip. Simulated modeling of the process of ice plating formation during the movement of the vessel in the layer of grated ice made it possible to clarify the results of previous studies on this topic. Geometric simulations of the creation of an ice plating were carried out taking into account the boundary conditions caused by the physical process of interaction of the hull with rubbed ice. As a result of computer modeling, the ice pad was presented in three parts of different surfaces with graphically described properties and dimensions. The clarification of the geometry of the shape of the ice pad allows us to move on to the calculations of the ice stroke using well-known methods. This is necessary in the design of transport vessels capable of confidently operating in areas of navigation with an ice situation.
