Abstract
Using the multipoles method, we formulate the problems of diffraction (both surge and heave) of water waves by a submerged prolate spheroidal body in deep water with an ice-cover, the ice-cover being modeled as an elastic plate of very small thickness. It investigates the linear hydrodynamic diffraction problem by prolate spheroidal body and obtains the analytical solution for the associated boundary value problem. The structural model is spheroidal with its polar axis greater than its equatorial diameter, subjected to the action of an incident wave. The hydrodynamic forces (surge and heave exciting forces) are obtained and depicted graphically against the wave number for various parameters and the flexural rigidity of the ice-cover is used to show the effects of the ice-cover on these quantities. When the flexural rigidity is zero, the numerical results for the forces for water with a free surface are recovered.
