Study on Wave Resistance of a Submarine Moving under an Ice Sheet

The paper deals with the model experiments for studying wave resistance of a submarine moving under an ice sheet. It is known that the maximum values of wave resistance affecting a submerged body as a result of generating surface waves correspond to the wave mode of propagation in an ice sheet of the flexural gravity waves caused by the motion of a submarine. To study wave resistance, a series of experiments was conducted in a model-testing basin by toeing a model submarine under a model ice sheet with the help of a gravitation to a wing system.
