Modeling of the Formation of Long Grooves in the Seabed by Grounded Ice Keels

  • Published : 2003.12.01

Abstract

The motion of passively floating body, whose keel can have a contact with seabed soil, is under the consideration. The body simulates ice ridge floating in shallow water. The force of seabed soil reaction applied to the grounded keel is estimated taking into account soil embankment near the grounded keel. Two-dimensional trajectories of body motion, the shape of the grooves in seabed and the height of soil embankment are calculated when the motion of the body is caused by semidiurnal $M_2$ tide. The influence of wave amplitude and bottom slope on the shapes of body trajectory and the grooves are analyzed.
