EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF ICE FLOE UNDER WAVE ACTION.

Report of experimental results on the interaction behavior of floating ice sheets with infinitely deep water gravity waves using model similitude theory. The results indicate a considerable dampening effect on the water wave by the ice sheet. A comparison of experiment results with a mathematical mo...

Description
Summary:Report of experimental results on the interaction behavior of floating ice sheets with infinitely deep water gravity waves using model similitude theory. The results indicate a considerable dampening effect on the water wave by the ice sheet. A comparison of experiment results with a mathematical model developed for ice floe behavior indicate a fairly good qualitative agreement but the reaction of the experiment model was below that predicted by the mathematical model.
