Abstract
The interaction between a uniform current with a circular cylinder submerged in a fluid covered by a semi-infinite ice sheet is considered analytically. The ice sheet is modelled as an elastic thin plate, and the fluid flow is described by the linearised velocity potential theory. The Green function or the velocity potential due to a source is first obtained. As the water surface is divided into two semi-infinite parts with different boundary conditions, the Wiener–Hopf method (WHM) offers significant advantages over alternative approaches and is consequently adopted. To do that, the distribution of the roots of the dispersion equation for fluid fully covered by an ice sheet in the complex plane is first analysed systematically, which does not seem to have been done before. The variations of these roots with the Froude number are investigated, especially their effects or factorisation and decomposition required in the WHM. The result is verified by comparing with that obtained from the matched eigenfunction expansion method. Through differentiating the Green function with respect to the source position, the potentials due to multipoles are obtained, which are employed to construct the velocity potential for the circular cylinder. Extensive results are provided for hydrodynamic forces on the cylinder and wave profiles, and some unique features are discussed. In particular, it is found that the forces can be highly oscillatory with the Froude number when the body is below the ice sheet, whereas such an oscillation does not exist when the body is below the free surface.
