Frazil and Skim Ice Initiation in Stream - Results of Laboratory Investigation

Abstract

The research project is the continuation of earlier studies and it is based on the hypothesis that frazil is formed if the water temperature t sub v < 0 C, the temperature on the water surface t sub h < -0.15 C, and (3) the cross- sectional water velocity v > 0,067(MC) to the 0.305 power R to the 0.5 power, where C = Chezy coefficient, M = 0.7C+6, R = hydraulic radius. The object of the research project is to verify the mathematically formulated conditions and to establish a theory of frazil and skim ice formation.
