Abstract
Ice tank experiments done to investigate the interaction of a highly skewed propeller with ice are described. An introduction to propeller-ice interac tion, the test setup, and the main results from the work are presented. The test matrix was designed to investigate the effect of variations in ice cu t depth and advance ratio on Propeller shaft thrust and torque. The results are discussed in terms of design strength requirements for highly skewed p ropellers operating in ice.
