Abstract

The paper is devoted to the numerical simulation of mechanical destruction of icebergs under man-made intense explosive influences. Icebergs pose a significant threat to offshore facilities, offshore oil platforms, ships, and bottom pipelines. One way to reduce the probability of collision is to detonate the iceberg. This work is dedicated to the calculation of the iceberg destruction as a result of this detonation. However, as a result of this detonation, the iceberg can split into large fragments, which will also pose a threat to offshore facilities. Therefore, it is important to conduct experiments to determine the parameters of the effect on the iceberg, which affects the size and number of fragments. Since it is difficult to conduct high-precision full-scale experiments, it is necessary to develop and test numerical methods to solve the problems of this class. In this paper, the grid-characteristic method was used for this purpose. Test calculations were carried out and patterns between the parameters of the explosive man-made impact and the nature of the destruction of the iceberg were revealed.
