Abstract

A class of boundary value problems involving propagation of two-dimensional surface water waves, associated with deep water and a plane vertical rigid barrier is investigated under the assumption that the surface is covered by a thin sheet of ice. Assuming that the ice-cover behaves like a thin isotropic elastic plate, the problems under consideration lead to those of solving the two-dimensional Laplace equation in a quarter-plane, under a Neumann boundary condition on the vertical boundary and a condition involving up to fifth order derivatives of the unknown function on the horizontal ice-covered boundary, along with two appropriate edge conditions, ensuring the uniqueness of the solutions. Two different methods are employed to solve the mixed boundary value problems completely, by determining the unique solution of a special type of integral equation of the first kind in the first method and by exploiting the analyticity property of the Fourier cosine transform in the second method. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
