This is a theoretical study about ice particle impact onto a rigid wall. It is motivated by the need to model the process of ice crystal accretion or damage caused by an ice particle impacts. A quasi-one-dimensional model of ice particle impact and deformation is developed. Spherical, cylindrical and conical shapes of the ice crystals are analysed. The model is able to predict particle residual height, the force produced by impact and the collision duration. The theoretical predictions agree well with the available experimental data.
