Abstract
The Canadian Coast Guard and Finnish Board of Navigation
established a joint research project "JRPA #6, Propeller
/ ice Interaction" in 1991, which had as its aim the
development of a new propefier/ice interaction model. The
ultimate goal was to use the model as basis in
formulating new machinery regulations for Arctic and
Baltic ice conditions. The new model was to be based on
the theoretical analysis of the physical phenomena
involved, and of existing full scale measurements. The
aim was to create a model
that is applicable to the practical dimensioning of
propellers and shafts against ice loads. The basic share
of work was that the main responsibility for developing a
contact load model was in Finland, whereas the
responsibility for developing a model for hydrodynamic
loads was in Canada. These two elements were synthesised
in a comprehensive propeller load prediction model
(simulation model). In addition, a simplified propeller
ice load model (design load model) was constructed.
