The effective model test methods of a square-type ice model basin in pack ice conditions were developed. Three individual pack ice channels, each with different concentrations of ice floe, were prepared using wooden staples, and these effects are verified in this research. The minimum channel breadth for the pack ice conditions was more than 6 m. In addition, the influence of the ship resistance in relation to the size of the ice floes in pack ice conditions was analyzed. Finally, we determined that the test result could be improved by applying a new technique to calculate the pack ice concentration. This study is intended to contribute to the improvement of a model test technique in pack ice conditions, and we conclude that the test result in pack ice conditions is more accurate.
