Abstract
The Green function, or the wave motion due to a point source pulsating and advancing at constant forward speed along a semi-infinite ice sheet in finite water depth is investigated, based on the linear velocity potential theory for fluid flow and thin elastic plate model for the ice sheet. The result is highly relevant to the ship motions near marginal seas. The ice edge is assumed to be free, or zero bending moment and shear-force conditions are used, while other edge conditions can be similarly considered. The Green function G is derived first through the Fourier transform along the direction of forward speed and then by the Wiener-Hopf technique along the transverse direction across both the free surface and ice sheet. The result shows that in the ice-covered domain, G can be decomposed into three parts. The first one is that upper ocean surface is fully covered by an ice sheet, and the second and third ones are due to the free surface and ice edge. Similarly, in the free-surface domain, G contains the component corresponding to that the upper water surface is fully free, while the second and third ones are due to the ice sheet and ice edge. In both domains, the latter two are due to the interactions of the free-surface wave and ice sheet deflection, which leads to the major complication. In-depth investigations are made for each part of G, and aim to shed some light on the nature of the wave motions induced by a ship advancing along a semi-infinite ice sheet at constant forward speed.
