Development of a Numerical Ice Tank Based on DEM and Physical Model Testing: Methods, Validations and Applications

The determination of ice loads on polar vessels and offshore structures is important for ice-resistant design, safe operation, and management of structural integrity in ice-infested waters. Physical model testing carried out in an ice tank/basin is usually an important technical approach for evaluat...
