Numerical Simulation of an Air-Bubble System for Ice Resistance Reduction

Ships sailing through cold regions frequently encounter floe ice fields. An air-bubble system that reduces friction between the hull and ice floes is thus considered useful for the reduction of ice-induced resistance. In this study, a numerical analysis procedure based on coupled finite volume metho...
