This paper describes the application of the characteristic-dissipative-Galerkin method to steady and unsteady open channel flow problems. The robust performance of this new finite element scheme is demonstrated in modeling the propagation of ice jam release surges over a 500 km reach of the Hay River in Alberta and Northwest Territories. This demonstration includes the automatic determination of steady flow profiles through supercritical–subcritical transitions, establishing the initial conditions for the unsteady flow analyses. The ice jam releases create a dambreak type of problem which begins as a very dynamic situation then develops into an essentially kinematic wave problem as the disturbance propagated downstream. The characteristic-dissipative-Galerkin scheme provided stable solutions not only for the extremes of dynamic and kinematic wave conditions, but also through the transition between the two. Key words: open channel flow, finite element method, dam break, surge propagation.

Two Parameter

The velocity field beneath simulated rough ice jams under various upstream jam angles and discharge were investigated using a particle image velocimetry system. Three discharges were examined at 2.3 L/s, 3.4 L/s, and 4.0 L/s and two upstream ice jam angles were tested at 4° and 6°. Increasing the discharge resulted in high turbulence production beneath the jam. The adverse pressure gradient exerted on the flow increased the levels of the Reynolds shear stress. The measured velocities beneath the jam were used to assess the performances of three traditional field measurement techniques as well as the validity of the two-parameter power law. The two-point measurement technique performed remarkably well with the least mean bias error of 2.0%. The error associated with the different techniques showed their inability to accurately predict the average velocity under high discharge. The two-parameter power law accurately predicted velocity profiles within the equilibrium section of the jam, but failed within the boundary layers when the flow was subjected to a pressure gradient.

Ice Breakup

In Canada, flooding due to the rise in water levels upstream of an ice jam, or the temporary exceedance of the flow and ice-carrying capacity of a channel upon release of an ice jam, has resulted in the loss of human life and extensive economic losses. Ice jam mitigation is a component of river ice management which includes all activities carried out to prevent or remove ice jams, or to reduce the damages that may result from an ice jam event. This paper presents a brief overview of measures to mitigate the damaging effects of ice jams and contains a discussion on their application to Canadian rivers. Key words: controlled ice breakup, flood control, ice jams, ice management, river ice.
