POOLVOIR TO TEST SHIP MODELS, PRIMARILY, IN ICE CONDITIONS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B63B9/02 G01M10/00 

FIELD: transport, auxiliary ship equipment.

SUBSTANCE: proposed test pool comprises the bottom simulation plant including submerged suspended support made up of assemblage of identical support sections arranged across the channel and distributed over its length. Aforesaid sections are suspended with adjusting tie-rods jointed to their length adjustment devices arranged on the channel walls sides. False bottom is mounted and rigidly attached to the said suspended support. The bottom simulation plant can vary the false bottom inclination towards horizontal plane in both the channel lengthwise direction α° till , and crosswise direction β° till , where L is the length of assembled bottom simulator, B is the bottom simulator width, HB is channel water depth, HD is the deepest bottom point, α° and β° are the angles of inclination of false bottom in lengthwise and crosswise directions, respectively. The total area of sections across the channel of support sections of the bottom simulator makes, at least, 0.05 of false bottom area in plan, while the false bottom width does not exceed 0.75 of the channel width. The false bottom is arranged in the channel symmetrically relative to the channel lengthwise axis.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of using ice test pool.
