Overview of the results of the project ‘Loads on Structure and Waves in Ice’ (LS-WICE)

Abstract

As an attempt to investigate several major research questions related to ocean wave-ice interaction, the HYDRALAB+ Transnational Access project ‘Loads on Structure and Waves in Ice’ (LS-WICE) was conducted in the Large Ice Model Basin (LIMB) at the Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA) from 24 October to 11 November 2016. The experimental data from this extensive project have been analysed in several research studies reported in other scientific papers. Here, an overall review of the obtained results is presented, and some recommendations for further work are given based on the collected experience.
