title = "Estimating development of the Urridafoss ice jam by using a river model",
abstract = "When frazil ice is produced in a river, any water storage reservoir must be able to accumulate the ice produced during the winter season without clogging the reservoir outlets. Diversion of the water flow to places where it can cause flooding and damage must also be prevented. The heat loss theory and the hydraulic theory for the analysis of the development of wide channel ice jams are discussed and shown. The results are combined in a new method to calculate the maximum thickness and the extent of an ice jam. The results are compared to the HEC-RAS model for the development of a very large ice jam in Thjorsa river in Iceland. The results are found in good agreement with historical data, and suggestions are made for the improvement of observation plans for engineering investigations that are being conducted at this site in preparing the construction of the Urridafoss hydroelectric dam project.",
