Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Ship performance in level ice has been traditionally applied as a design point when a newbuilding is designed. However, due to global warming, the thickness of sea ice cover has been reducing. As a result, the extent of level ice cover is diminishing, and the extent of floe ice is increasing. This applies to multi-year ice at the polar regions but also to the sea areas where only first-year ice appears, as the winters are milder. Simultaneously, ships operate more extensively in open water conditions that favor hull optimization for open water conditions resulting in non-conventional icebreaking hull form designs.

As the traditionally considered interaction process is changed due to the ice conditions and hull form, new aspects in modelling the ship–ice interaction process and new knowledge on the interaction are required. The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish the most exciting research with respect to the above subjects and to provide a rapid turnaround time regarding reviewing and publishing, disseminating the articles freely for research, teaching, and reference purposes.

When a ship sails in an ice area, the ice could cause damage to ship hull and the propeller as well as the rudder. In the design process of an ice class propeller, the strength verification of the propeller has always been the focus of the design and research of the ice propeller. Based on the International Association of Classification Societies Unified Requirements for Polar Class (IACS Polar UR), it is required that the maximum torque from the propeller cannot exceed the required value to ensure the safety of the propeller shafting equipment. This paper investigates the hydrodynamic performance of the propeller under the condition of satisfying the propeller’s ice strength. A parametric propeller optimization design procedure was established in which the thrust coefficient and open water efficiency solved by CFD method were selected as the objective function and optimization target, the maximum ice torque was used as the optimization constraint under the condition that the ship’s shafting equipment remains unchanged, the propeller pitch, thickness, and camber at each radial direction were taken as the optimization design variables, and the optimization algorithm of SOBOL and NSGA-II was adopted. The interaction mode of propeller and ice was simulated by the method of explicit dynamics. The equivalent stress and displacement response of the blade during the cutting process of the ice propeller were calculated, monitoring the ice destruction process. The results show that the multi-objective Pareto optimal solution set of thrust coefficient and open water efficiency of the ice class propeller was formed at the design speed while maintain the maximum ice torque not exceeding the original ice torque.

The Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) has been applied to ship carbon emission standards since 2013, ice ships subject to the Finnish Swedish Ice Class Rules (FSICR) also need to meet the requirements of EEDI. In this study, the engine power requirements by EEDI at different stages for the considered ice class ships with different ice classes (1C, 1B, 1A, 1A Super) are compared with engine power requirements obtained from the resistance calculated by FSICR or Lindqvist method. Three different bow shapes for the considered ice class ships and different pack ice coverage are studied. The results from FSICR or Lindqvist formula show that 1A Super ice classes for all considered bow shapes cannot meet the requirement by EEDI at Phase 2 and 3; For 1B and 1A class, some bow shapes can meet the EEDI requirement for all stages, but some cannot; For 1C class, all bow shapes can meet the EEDI requirements for all stages. The ship main engine power requirements under different pack ice concentration are studied and compared to EEDI requirements. Full article

A hovercraft can adapt to an ice area, open water, land and other environments, owing to its unique hull structure. It also plays an important role in transporting supplies, rescuing people, breaking ice and conducting other tasks. Ice load prediction is very important for structural safety and navigation of a polar ship, especially in design of air cushion icebreakers or ice breaking platforms. In this paper, based on a simplified circumferential icebreaking pattern, the icebreaking force of the hovercraft operating on the ice sheet at low speed is simulated in a numerical way. Numerical analysis of the icebreaking process with different ice thicknesses and bending strengths are performed. The numerical results are compared with model test data in a time domain for three operating cases. By analyzing the average ice force, the errors between numerical simulation results and model test measurements are less than 30%. The present study is significant for the preliminary design of new icebreaking hovercraft and it assists the operation possibility for existing hovercraft. Full article

Apart from breaking level ice, polar ships can interact with broken ice in various scenarios. In recent years, computational simulation models have increasingly been used for the evaluation of ship operability under broken ice conditions, presenting some challenging issues. This paper reviews existing simulation methods used to estimate ship performance and ice loads for ships advancing continuously in broken ice fields. Models for different types of broken ice, including ice floes, ice ridges, brash ice, and sliding ice pieces, are reviewed separately. A ship’s response in broken ice is divided into two categories: resistance, which relates to the overall ship performance, and local loads, which relates to structural safety. This review shows that most existing models are proposed for unbreakable ice particles, which are only applicable to broken ice of small size; most models treat fluid flow with extensive simplification, which does not reflect the influence of a ship’s wake or bow waves, and most models are aimed at resistance estimation, adopting elastic or viscoelastic contact models which do not include ice crushing. As for future work, it is suggested that more effort should be assigned to simulating a ship’s interaction with ice ridges and sliding ice pieces, the modelling of breakable ice floes, and the coupling of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). More attention to the local ice load estimation is also encouraged. Full article
