Emilian Parau - Flexural-gravity waves generated by moving loads

Three-dimensional waves generated by moving loads on top of floating ice plates are investigated. The ice plates are modelled using the thin plate theory. Different viscoelastic models will be presented and wave patterns will be calculated. Nonlinear steady waves will be computed using boundary integral methods. Fully dispersive weakly nonlinear equations will be derived and comparisons of solutions with field observations will be provided. Other related flows will be discussed.
