In this work, the hydrodynamic characteristics of broken ice removal system from dock complex (DC) were calculated on the base of computational solving equations methods of viscous fluid dynamics. The feasibility of this system using pump units that intended for filling and Dewatering of the dock ballast compartments.
Fields of stream and tangent stress on the under shelf of the ice floe for variations of flow developers positions were calculated. Allowable wind speed was designed for providing the removal of broken ice from the DC with different trims and different positions of hole for developing of directions flow.
