Flow Characteristics beneath a Simulated Partial Ice Cover: Effects of Ice and Bed Roughness
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At the onset of winter in cold regions, border ice may form along the banks of a river and grow outward toward the center of the channel. This type of transient ice process is not well understood, and current empirical ...
Boundary Shear Stress in an Ice-Covered River during Breakup
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: River ice complicates river hydraulics and morphodynamics by adding a new boundary layer to the top of the flow. This boundary layer affects the velocity distribution throughout the depth due to increased flow resistance, ...
Characterizing Ice Cover Formation during Freeze-Up on the Regulated Upper Nelson River, Manitoba
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Flow control programs on regulated rivers can improve winter flow conveyance for hydropower operations. On the Upper Nelson River, station flows at Jenpeg Generating Station are reduced during freeze-up to promote formation ...
