Mohapatra, S.C., Amouzadrad, P. and Guedes Soares, C. (2025), Recent developments on the nonlinear hydroelastic modeling of sea ice interaction with marine structures, Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, Vol. 13(8), 1410.
This review provides the recent advancements in nonlinear sea ice modeling for hydroelastic analysis of ice-covered channels and their interaction with floating structures. It surveys theoretical, experimental, and numerical methodologies used to analyze complex coupled sea ice-structure interactions. The paper discusses governing fluid domain solutions, fluid-ice interaction mechanisms, and ice-structure (ship) contact models, alongside experimental techniques and various numerical models. While significant progress has been made, particularly with coupled approaches validated by experimental data, challenges remain in full-scale validation and accurately representing ice properties and dynamic interactions. Findings highlight the increasing importance of understanding sea ice interactions, particularly in the context of climate change, arctic transportation, and the development of very large floating structures. This review serves as a crucial resource for advancing safe and sustainable arctic and offshore engineering.
