A mathematical analysis is developed to describe the evolution and characteristics of river ice jams. The principal components of the analytical model are the static force equilibrium of the fragmented ice cover; the unsteady continuity equations for the frozen and liquid water; the nonuniform unsteady...
Langrangian discrete parcel simulation of river ice dynamics A coupled two-dimensional model for river ice dynamics is developed for simulating ice movement and jamming in river reaches with complex geometries. For the hydrodynamic simulation an Eulerian finite element method is used. A Lagrangian......
