Numerical Simulation of Solitary-Wave Scattering and Damping in Fragmented Sea Ice

چکیده
A numerical model for direct phase-resolved simulation of nonlinear ocean waves propagating through fragmented sea ice is proposed. In view are applications to wave propagation and attenuation across the marginal ice zone. This model solves the full equations for nonlinear potential flow coupled with a nonlinear thin-plate formulation for the ice cover. Distributions of ice floes can be directly specified in the physical domain by allowing the coefficient of flexural rigidity to be spatially variable. Dissipation due to ice viscosity is also taken into account by including diffusive terms in the governing equations. Two-dimensional simulations are performed to examine the attenuation of solitary waves by scattering and damping through an irregular array of ice floes. Wave attenuation over time is quantified for various floe configurations.

A numerical model for scattering from sea ice based on the finite difference time domain (FDTD) technique is presented. The sea ice medium is modeled as consisting of randomly located spherical brine scatterers with a specified fractional volume, and the medium is modeled both with and without a randomly rough boundary to study the relative effects of volume and surface scattering. A Monte Carl...
