Abstract
A laboratory experimental study conducted in a freshwater wave flume installed in a refrigerated room characterized the modifications of wave propagation along on-site manufactured ice covers. Monochromatic surface waves of various amplitudes and frequencies were generated and propagated through three types of ice covers: sheet ice, broken ice floes, and grease ice. This study characterized the spatial evolutions of wave height attenuation and phase speed changes. Wave phase speed increased significantly in sheet ice relative to open water values while no significant changes in phase speed were present with other ice covers. The modifications by sheet ice are consistent with thin plate model..
