During the transfer of ice blocks from the ship to the transport vehicle after docking, significant brine drainage occurred, artificially increasing the gas volume fraction within the ice. This unexpected shift allowed us to explore the mechanical properties of gas-enriched sea ice and the different impacts of gas and brine on sea ice strength. Examination of the ice crystal structure showed a granular ice layer at the top, underlain by a columnar ice layer. Sea ice samples were machined from the ice blocks for mechanical experiments performed in the laboratory. Three-point bending tests were conducted at ice temperatures of −12 to −3 °C, and uniaxial compressive strength tests were conducted at ice temperatures of −8 to −3 °C with a strain rate range of 10<sup>−6</sup>–10<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>. Ice temperature, density, and salinity of each sample were measured to determine porosity. Results showed that both flexural strength and strain modulus of columnar sea ice exhibited statistically significant decreasing trends with increasing porosity. Flexural strength showed a significant correlation with gas volume fraction (<em>R</em><sup>2</sup> = 0.25, <em>p</em> &gt; 0.1) but not with brine volume fraction (<em>R</em><sup>2</sup> = 0.37, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.1). Conversely, strain modulus correlated significantly with brine volume fraction (<em>R</em><sup>2</sup> = 0.58, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.1) but not with gas volume fraction (<em>R</em><sup>2</sup> = 0.06, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.1). Uniaxial compressive strength decreased with increasing porosity and displayed a ductile-to-brittle transition, with strength initially increasing and then decreasing with rising strain rate. The transition strain rate ranged between 1.5 × 10<sup>−4</sup> and 4.0 × 10<sup>−3</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> depending on ice crystal structure. Experimental results from gas-enriched sea ice were compared with previously reported data from natural sea ice (brine-dominated). At equivalent porosity levels, gas-enriched ice exhibited higher flexural strength and strain modulus than natural sea ice, indicating that brine has a stronger influence on bending mechanics than gas.

However, fractures in freezing pipes are difficult to completely eliminate. The leakage of brine caused by pipe rupture can easily trigger a degradation in the strength of the freezing wall, and even lead to flooding accidents in the well. To explore the feasibility of detecting and warning freezing pipe fractures through microseismic signals, this study constructs a physical model and experimental method for the vibration problem of freezing pipe fractures, based on the “frozen soil layer encapsulating freezing pipes (including joints)” structural type. Six types of frozen soil analog materials were first developed, with densities (2.0 g/cm<sup>3</sup>), elastic moduli (110–735 MPa), and compressive strengths (0.98–5.14 MPa) meeting the requirements for engineering frozen soil simulation. Subsequently, model freezing pipe fracture vibration tests were conducted under the encapsulation of frozen soil analog materials. The results indicate that under the constraint of frozen soil, as the radial dimension of the specimen increases, the main frequency of pipe rupture rises, while increasing the axial length leads to a decrease in the main frequency. When the radial size <em>D</em> = 7.5<em>D</em>₀ (where <em>D</em>₀ is the outer diameter of the freezing pipe) and the effective axial size reaches <em>H</em>₀ = 20<em>D</em>₀, the main frequency of pipe rupture tends to stabilize. By comparing the similarity criteria with the experimental results, the similarity of the freezing pipe fracture vibration problem and the reliability of the experimental method were validated.

This study, through an extensive literature review, summarizes the influence and mechanisms of these factors on the strength of frozen soil. Results indicate that: (1) within the typical engineering temperature range, there is an approximately linear relationship between the compressive strength of frozen soil and temperature. The increase in ice strength and ice content due to lower temperatures are the primary reasons for the enhanced strength of frozen soil. (2) For unsaturated frozen soil, the compressive strength increases with increasing water content, whereas for saturated frozen soil, the strength decreases with increasing water content; overall, its compressive strength is positively correlated with ice content. (3) The compressive strength of frozen soil increases with higher strain rates, exhibiting a robust power function relationship between the two. Based on experimental data from the literature, a new multivariate strength model for frozen soil that considers temperature, saturation, and strain rate is proposed. Comparative analyses with existing models demonstrate that the new model offers greater adaptability and higher accuracy.

This paper presents a numerical simulation of icing on inertial separator blades caused by saline droplets with varying Medium Volume Diameter (MVD) under marine conditions. The reliability of this method was verified through comparison with experimental data. The results show that increasing salinity significantly reduces the ice accretion on inertial separator blades.

Additionally, the rate of icing reduction increases with higher salinity. As the icing process progresses, the growth rate of blade icing gradually increases, but the rate of increase tends to slow down. As salinity increases, the total pressure loss of the blade after icing decreases, with larger droplets causing a greater reduction in pressure loss compared to smaller droplets. Increasing droplet salinity from 0.0 % to 3.5 % reduces total pressure loss by 10.51 % for MVD = 30 μm droplets and by 13.56 % for MVD = 50 μm droplets.
