Nonlinear Hydroelastic Waves beneath a Floating Ice Sheet in a Fluid of Finite Depth
The nonlinear hydroelastic waves propagating beneath an infinite ice sheet floating on an inviscid fluid of finite depth are investigated analytically. The approximate series solutions for the velocity potential and the wave surface elevation are derived, respectively, by an analytic approximation t...
