Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical model for the dynamics of surface ice transport and ice jam in rivers was developed and applied to the upper Niagara River. The model treats river ice dynamics as a two-layer system consisting ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of model calibration and a parametric study of the ice-jamming processes in the Tonawanda Channel of the upper Niagara River using the one-dimensional river-ice model RICEN. The model is ...

Abstract: Winter operation of the New York Power Authority's and Ontario Hydro's hydropower generating stations on the Niagara River is affected by the possibility that ice jams might occur in the vicinity of the hydropower plant ...

Abstract: The flow in the upper Niagara River is affected by weed growth in the summer and by ice formation and accumulation in the winter. Changes in flow resistance tend to occur abruptly with time and space during ice‐affected ...
