Brief introduction of the reporter


Reporter: Emilian Parau Professor and Dean of the School of Mathematics, University of East Anglia, UK

Report topic:Water waves in polar regions


Emilian Parau, Dean, Professor and PhD supervisor of the School of Mathematics, University of East Anglia, UK. He received a Romanian the West University of Timisoara BA in mathematics in 1995 and a PhD in mathematics from University of Nice Sophia Antipolis and the West University of Timisoara in 2000. Professor Emilian Parau is a Simmons member (Simons Fellow), Phil. Trans. Roy, of the Isaac Newton Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge. Guest editor of Modelling of sea-ice phenomena (2019) and Mathematical challenges andmodelling of hydroelasticity (2011), Water Waves: Editorial board of An interdisciplinary journal, etc. Emilian Parau Professor focuses on nonlinear water waves, water elastic waves, water waves under ice and other hydrodynamic problems related to interface and free surface flows. So far, Professor Emilian Parau has published 65 academic papers in the top journals of Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Physics of Fluid, and has been invited to more than 90 academic conferences / symposiums / seminars, and published more than 20 conference papers.

Report summary

We present an overview of the waves propagating on waters covered by floating ice sheets. The ice is modelled as an elastic plate and the fluid is potential. Free waves and waves generated by moving loads are computed for the full nonlinear problem or using weakly nonlinear models. The attenuation of waves in the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) is also considered briefly.
