The two-dimensional nonlinear problem of a steady flow in a channel covered by broken ice with an arbitrary bottom topography including a semi-circular obstruction is considered. The mathematical model is based on the velocity potential theory accounting for nonlinear boundary conditions on the bottom of the channel and at the interface between the liquid and the layer of the broken ice, which are coupled through a numerical procedure. A mass loading model together with a viscous layer model is used to model the ice cover. The integral hodograph method is employed to derive the complex velocity potential of the flow, which contains the velocity magnitude at the interface in explicit form. The coupled problem is reduced to a system of integral equations in the unknown velocity magnitude at the interface, which is solved numerically using a collocation method. Case studies are conducted both for the subcritical and for the supercritical flow regimes in the channel. For subcritical flows, it is found that the ice cover allows for generating waves with amplitudes larger than those that may exist in the free surface case; the ice cover prevents the formation of a cusp and extends the solution to larger obstruction heights on the bottom. For supercritical flow regimes, the broken ice significantly affects the waveform of the soliton wave making it gentler. The viscosity factor of the model apparently governs the wave attenuation.
