Popis: The real resistance that a ship must face when it is navigating in ice floes is the key factor for knowing the necessary power and the required engine size. The aim of this work is to provide valuable data to help other research in which numerical frameworks will be developed to study ship navigation in broken ice. In this work, we used paraffin wax as an alternative to obtain affordable solutions, avoiding the high cost of ice tests. The experiments were carried out in a traditional basin facility and they consisted of towing tank tests with a ship model using different concentrations of blocks simulated by the use of paraffin wax. Photogrammetry was used as technique to determine the initial position of the ice blocks, which is important as starting data in the current development of numerical simulation code for studying the features of ship resistance in drift ice. These data are available for some ice concentrations in attached files. In addition, a procedure for testing in traditional towing facilities is presented and discussed. The results of the resistance obtained in the experiments in the presence of simulated floes are presented for three concentrations and three model speeds. Some findings may be applicable to ice sailing, under given circumstances.
