JRPA #6 propeller/ice interaction development of semi-empirical load models interim report for 1992/93 fiscal year

This report describes the development of semi-empirical models for propeller/ice interaction loads. These models are based on model experimental results and are calibrated with available full scale data. Propeller/ice interaction models have been developed for non-contact loads, for non-contact blade pressure distributions, and for contact loads. This report documents the models, issues, and full scale comparisons as completed to date, and outlines the work to completion.NRC publication: Ye
