| dc.description.abstract | While many studies have been conducted in channels that are fully open or entirely covered with ice, little has been examined in channels with border ice. To begin filling in this gap in knowledge, experiments were conducted in the Hydraulics Research Testing Facility at the University of Manitoba in a 1.2m wide, 14m long flume to assess the impact of Froude number, coverage ratio and bed-to-ice roughness ratio on the hydraulic characteristics of channels with border ice cover. Acoustic Doppler velocimetry was used to collect detailed 3D velocity data over a cross section of the flume which facilitated the analysis of velocity and turbulence intensity fields as well as the shear stress distribution. The data collected thus far represents the most complete experimental dataset of measured water velocities in a channel with a border ice cover. | en_US |
