Abstract

In this paper, a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is extended to simulate the wave–ice interactions. The main contribution of this work is that an improved fluid-ice interface treatment scheme is included into SPH code to deal with the contact between the fluid and ice particles. The proposed SPH approach is applied to model two typical patterns of the wave–ice interaction process: the kinematic response of a small ice floe and the flexural motion of a sea ice floe, induced by water waves. To verify the accuracy of SPH method for the wave–ice interactions, the numerical results of SPH are compared with corresponding experimental data. The good agreement between the two demonstrates that the SPH method can be a useful numerical tool for simulating the wave-induced motion and bending deformation of an ice floe.
