Abstract: Physical modeling of ships and hydraulic structures interaction with ice is impeded, mainly, by the difficulties of creation of adequate ice cover model. Practical and theoretical aspects of modeling are reviewed. It is shown that under impossibility of the full satisfaction of the similarity theory requirements, partial modelling can bring useful results if similarity criteria set, ice cover model and methods of data expantion were chosen rationally. Similarity criteria, allowing widening of model ice cover search area, are formulated. Effective ice cover models, allowing modeling of resistance to ice destruction and methods of data expantion are suggested. Research results are verified by numerous experiments in ice experimental basin.
