Abstract: The mean wave drift force on a vertical axisymmetric ice floe in regular waves is computed using available computation methods for linear wave diffraction and radiation by a floating rigid body. The computed results for a ...

Abstract: Adhesion of ice to surfaces creates problems for many industries, including aviation, hydropower, telecommunications, navigation, electrical distribution, and all forms of transportation. Specific problems at locks and ...

Abstract: The motion of two ice floes in a wave field were simultaneously measured with two six degree of freedom instruments in the Barents Sea Marginal Ice Zone. The heave motion amplitude was used to interpret the wave amplitude. ...
