The focus of this work is on three-dimensional nonlinear flexural–gravity waves, propagating at the interface between a fluid and an ice sheet. The ice sheet is modelled using the special Cosserat theory of hyperelastic shells satisfying Kirchhoff's hypothesis, presented in (Plotnikov & Toland. 2011 Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 369 , 2942–2956 ( doi:10.1098/rsta.2011.0104 )). The fluid is assumed inviscid and incompressible, and the flow irrotational. A numerical method based on boundary integral equation techniques is used to compute solitary waves and forced waves to Euler's equations. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Modelling of sea-ice phenomena’.

Diffraction of flexural-gravity waves in an ice cover by a bottom mounted structure with vertical walls is studied. The problem is solved by using the so-called vertical modes corresponding to the roots of the dispersion relation for flexural-gravity waves. These modes reduce the original three-dimensional problem to a set of two-dimensional diffraction problems with non-homogeneous boundary conditions on the rigid walls. Two unknown functions presenting in the boundary conditions for each mode are determined using the conditions at the contact line between the ice cover and the vertical walls. The clamped conditions at the contact line, where the ice cover is frozen to the wall, are considered in this study. The solution of the problem is obtained for a single vertical circular cylinder frozen in the ice cover. A general approach to the problem for vertical cylinders of any shapes is presented. The diffraction problems with vertical walls extended to infinity are discussed. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Modelling of sea-ice phenomena’.

If string theory is correct, then our observable universe may be a three-dimensional "brane" embedded in a higher-dimensional spacetime. This theoretical scenario should be tested via the state-of-the-art in gravitational experiments — the current and upcoming gravity-wave detectors. Indeed, the existence of extra dimensions leads to oscillations that leave a spectroscopic signature in the gravity-wave signal from black holes. The detectors that have been designed to confirm Einstein's prediction of gravity waves, can in principle also provide tests and constraints on string theory.

Abstract A method to estimate the flexural stiffness and effective elastic modulus of floating ice is described and analysed. The method is based on the analysis of water pressure records at two or three locations below the bottom of floating ice when flexural-gravity waves propagate through the ice. The relative errors in the calculations of the ice flexural stiffness and the water depth are analysed. The method is tested using data from field measurements in Tempelfjorden, Svalbard, where flexural-gravity waves were excited by an icefall at the front of the outflow glacier Tunabreen in February 2011.
