Aleksei Dobrodeev, Kirill Sazonov
Abstract
he authors present the results of experimental studies of ice interaction with models of extended hydraulic constructions with a sloping wall carried out in the laboratory “Ice tank” of Krylov State Research Centre. The researchers analyze the possibilities of applying the method of physical modeling to investigate the processes of ice-structure interaction using ice tank. The results make it possible to recommend the method of physical modeling as one of the main approaches for studying the interaction of hydro-technical installations with ice. The data of the model experiment can be used to construct mathematical models of ice breaking mechanism, as well as to clarify the requirements of ragulatory documents.
