| Abstract: | Two scenarios of towing an iceberg with a boat using floating and submerged tow lines are considered in this work. Equations governing the towing process and the tension in the mooring lines are formulated. The stability of steady solutions describing the towing process at a constant speed is studied. Numerical simulations are performed to compare the modeling results with the experimental results of towing a model iceberg and to investigate towing a full-scale iceberg. |
