Abstract
Nonlinear flexural-gravity waves beneath a continuous ice sheet are considered. A Hamiltonian formulation of the governing equations is presented in the general three-dimensional setting. It is used to investigate the long-wave regime and derive an asymptotic model for weakly nonlinear dispersive waves with slower variation in the transverse direction. In the two-dimensional case, the model predictions are compared with direct numerical simulations of the full equations and a good agreement is found.
