dc.description.abstractOver the past decades, the underlying mechanism of level ice resistance changing with ship speed has not been fully understood, particularly the resistance component due to ship interactions with broken ice pieces. Pre-sawn ice test can negate icebreaking component from the whole resistance of a ship in level ice, providing an effective approach to decompose ship-ice interactions and investigate the speed-dependent resistance from broken ice pieces. This work has built a computational model that can realistically simulate a ship advancing in a pre-sawn ice channel. The model applies Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to solve the flow around an advancing ship, which is coupled with an enhanced Discrete Element Method (DEM) to model pre-sawn ice pieces. Model-scale experiments have also been conducted at the Aalto Ice Tank to validate the simulations, which shows the computational model can provide a reasonable estimation of the pre-sawn ice's resistance and movement around the ship. Upon validation, the dependence of ice resistance on ship speed was analysed. The simulations enable underwater monitoring of the ice motions, indicating that the speed dependence results from the mass of ice submerged underneath the ship and the displacement of broken ice induced by the ship. The identified relationships are more complex than the widely-used assumption that ice resistance linearly changes with ship speed in all cases, which provides a deeper understanding of ice resistance. As such, the findings from this study can potentially facilitate improvements in relevant empirical equations, useful for ship design, operational strategies and maritime management in polar regions.en_UK
