Abstract

The forecasting resistance method of the icebreaking platform, based on dummy tests in NSTU experimental model ice basin is proposed in the article. Experimental research data of ice breaking air cushion platforms resistance in calm water are presented. The dummy tests main results taking into account the key parameters influencing the platform resistance are given. The effect analysis of aircushion pressure, airflow, icebreaking platform velocity, aircushion size ratio in plan and the variable basin depth on wave resistance is made. The formula of water resistance calculation is proposed.
