The dependence of the integral capacity of the hovercraft icebreaker power plant on the thickness of the ice cover destroyed
by the resonance method

Abstract: The article features the specifics of amphibious hovercraft (SVP) operation, combining icebreaking functions in the destruction of the ice cover by the resonance method, i.e. by exciting resonant flexural-gravity waves in ice. Based on the previously obtained dependencies of mass, area and pressure in the air cushion of the vessel, sufficient for the destruction of the ice cover, as well as well-known works on designing SVP, the dependence of the total capacity of the vessel on the thickness of the ice to be destroyed was calculated. It is concluded that in the early stages of the design, the results of our research will make it possible to determine the minimum energy consumption of the SVP, sufficient to destroy the ice cover by the resonant method, and evaluate the effectiveness of using SVP for solving ice engineering problems.
Keywords: hovercraft, ice cover, destruction, resonance method, power plant, total power.
