Surge motion of an ice floe in waves: comparison of a theoretical and an experimental model
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-19, 08:28 authored by Meylan, MH, Yiew, LJ, Bennetts, LG, French, B, Giles ThomasA 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 thin plastic disc to model the floe. The processed experimental data display a regime change in surge amplitude when the incident wavelength is approximately twice the floe diameter. It is shown that the theoretical model is accurate in the high-wavelength regime, but highly inaccurate in the lowwavelength regime.
