Submarine Moving Close to Ice Surface Conditions

Abstract

This paper deals with the submarine in ice conditions. The ice cover is modeled by a floating Euler-Bernoulli plate. The hydrodynamic problem of submarine motion is modeled by a point source which steadily moves in water under the floating ice plate. The analysis is carried out by using the analytical methods theory of the function of complex variables and integral transformations. Then the integral for ice plate deflection is evaluated numerically. The given solution is analyzed as a function of submarine velocity, ice thickness and submergence depth.
