Shear strength between ice and hull-coating surface at a given temperature - crucial for ice-breaking resistance prediction and hull-coating selection.
Formula
$$ \tau = 0.1 \cdot |T| \cdot k_{coating} $$Symbol legend
| Symbol | Meaning | Unit | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| $T$ | Ice-hull interface temperature | °C | hull RTD |
| $k_{coating}$ | Coating adhesion factor | - | paint datasheet |
