The coupling between fluid and granular materials is commonly encountered in nature and
engineering practice. Moreover, the shape of granular materials in practical applications is …

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 …

For polar ship operating in the brash ice channel, self-propulsion performance prediction is
a significant topic. In this paper, the CFD-DEM coupling method is presented to investigate …

Whilst climate change is transforming the Arctic into a navigable ocean where small ice floes
are floating on the sea surface, the effect of such ice conditions on ship performance has yet …

With the effects of global warming, the Arctic is presenting a new environment where
numerous ice floes are floating on the open sea surface. Whilst this has improved Arctic …

Based on the CFD-DEM (Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete Element Method) coupling
method, a numerical model of the ice plate collided by a free-rising light sphere was …

The CFD-DEM simulations are performed to investigate the suitable ship-ice contact model
and research the full-scale ship-ice interaction characteristics in the restricted brash ice …

Numerical modelling present an alternative to the more industry-accepted full-scale trials
and physical model tests for predicting ice actions on ships and offshore platforms in a …

This paper predicts the ice-induced resistance on a container ship sailing in pack ice area
by using a coupled method: the fluid flow is solved by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) …

This study numerically examines the evolution of cavitation, trajectory, and impact load
during the process of water exit of a submerged and ventilated cavitation cylinder in a brash …
