Abstract
The properties of low-amplitude surface waves propagating in an ice channel are investigated in the shallow-water approximation. The ice cover is modelled either by a rigid cap or by a thin elastic plate floating on a liquid surface. It is shown that an ice channel is a waveguide for surface waves. The dispersive properties of the natural oscillations of the liquid in the channel are investigated. The resonance velocities of the motion of the load on the channel surface, at which the amplitude of the forced oscillations of the liquid increases without limit in time, are determined. The decay instability of the natural oscillations of high harmonics with respect to waves of the first mode is demonstrated. The process is described by the standard equations for non-linear three-wave interaction. The investigations lead to the conclusion that critical modes of motion of a boat are realizable in an ice channel.
