Abstract: | The nonlinear interaction of periodic traveling waves of the first and second harmonics in a constant-depth uniform fluid
covered with broken ice is considered. Uniform asymptotic expansions up to third-order values for the velocity potential of
the fluid and the elevation of the basin surface are found by means of the multivariable expansion procedure. The dependence
of the wave perturbations on the thickness of the ice and the interacting-harmonic characteristics is analyzed.
