Spring 2012
In the northern reaches of the globe, cities built along rivers create open leads in the river’s seasonal ice cover through warm water effluent discharge. These open leads are known for producing episodic frazil events which can block downstream intakes, causing major problems for recipients of...

Measurements of frazil ice characteristics in both laboratory and field environments have each been hindered by different challenges to date. In the laboratory, the resolution of the digital imaging systems used to photograph suspended particles has limited the size of the smallest frazil ice...

Laboratory Measurements of the Properties of Frazil Ice Particles and Flocs in Saline Water
DownloadSpring 2018
Measurements of the size and shape of frazil ice particles and flocs in saline water and of frazil ice flocs in freshwater are limited. This study consisted of a series of laboratory experiments producing frazil ice at salinities of 0 â°, 15 â°, 25 â°, and 35 â° to address this lack of data....

Spring river ice breakup on northern rivers can quickly result in ice jams which present severe flood risk to which have little or no advanced warning. Despite the serious threat posed, there are no reliable means to predict the severity of breakup with a significant lead time. Many of the...
