Surge motion of an ice floe in waves: comparison of a theoretical and an experimental model
A theoretical model and an experimental model of surge motions of an ice floe due to regular waves are presented. The theoretical model is a modified version of Morrison’s equation, valid for small floating bodies. The experimental model is implemented in a wave basin at a scale 1 : 100, using a thi...
