It remains unclear how important the hydrodynamic influences are during the collision. This problem is partially investigated in this paper using numerical methods. To simplify the problem as much as possible without loss of generality, a short ice cylinder of circular section is assumed to collide with a vertical large structure plate under a variety of collision scenarios. Among them the most important cases are: (1) the rigid ice cylinder collision with the rigid or elastic structural plate at different collision velocities, (2) the elastic ice cylinder collision with the rigid or elastic structural plate at different collision velocities and (3) the elastoplastic ice cylinder collision with the rigid or elastic structural plate at different collision velocities. The numerical results show that: (1) the hydrodynamic influences are negligible in the first case, (2) the hydrodynamic influences in the second and third cases are not negligible, and become very significant in the third case. The influences are numerically estimated to be in the range of 20%–60% in terms of the momentum change. If the ice response is approximately decomposed into the rigid-body motions and the deformation modes at the instant of the collision with the structure, the previous conclusions show that the hydrodynamic influences on the rigid-body motions of the ice are negligible, but those on the elastic and elastoplastic modes of the ice are significant. Comparison with the case of a submerged ice cylinder (although not a practical case) reveals that the hydrodynamic influences are small in the first case due to the fact that the energy loss is used to produce the water splash and the cavity behind the ice cylinder. Through this study we come into the conclusion that the hydrodynamic influences are not important for the rigid-body motions, but important for the elastic or elastoplastic modes.展开更多
