Flow Through

Flow through the voids of breakup ice jams can be a major portion of the total river discharge, especially where the jam is so thick as to be grounded. Very little information is available on this question; it is derived from laboratory tests or from numerical modelling applications, and there is a discrepancy between respective seepage coefficients. A field program has been carried out to measure the flow through the voids in ice jams by taking advantage of favourable access conditions created by an ice-retention structure on the Credit River. The data obtained during two breakup events are described and an integral method of analysis is developed to identify areas of grounding and determine seepage coefficients. Values of the latter are in agreement with those deduced by numerical modelling.Key words: flow, ice jam, modelling, seepage, voids.

A numerical model called RIVJAM has been developed to compute the configuration of and water levels caused by ice jams of the "wide" kind, under natural stream conditions and regardless of whether the jam has attained its full potential, known as equilibrium. Account of seepage flow through the voids of the jam enables predictions of grounding conditions to be made, in accord with observations. The model is applied to three case studies of ice jam events and found to perform satisfactorily. The various model coefficients fall within the expected ranges, with the exception of a parameter characterizing the intensity of seepage flow. More field data are needed to elucidate this matter.

Laboratory tests were conducted to study the seepage flow conditions through a simulated grounded jam. Results indicated that nonlaminar seepage predominates and that the resulting relationship between the local flow and the upstream and downstream water depths may be applied to both steady and unsteady flow conditions.

This paper presents the research results of the microstructure changes of the round rods of AZ31 magnesium alloy in the hot rolling processes. The rolling was conducted in duo mill and a three-high skew rolling mill. Numerical modelling of the AZ31 magnesium alloy round rods rolling process was conducted using a computer program Forge 2011®. The verification of the results of numerical modelling was carried out during laboratory tests in a two-high rolling mill D150 and a three-high skew rolling mill RSP 40/14. Distributions of the total effective strain and temperature during AZ31 rods rolling process were determined on the basis of the theoretical analysis. Microstructure and texture changes during both analysed processes were studied.

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.

Abstract. In cold regions, ice-jam events result in severe flooding due to a rapid rise in water levels upstream of the jam. These floods threaten human safety and damage properties and infrastructures as the floods resulting from ice-jams are sudden. Hence, the ice-jam prediction tools can give an early warning to increase response time and minimize the possible corresponding damages. However, the ice-jam prediction has always been a challenging problem as there is no analytical method available for this purpose. Nonetheless, ice jams form when some hydro-meteorological conditions happen, a few hours to a few days before the event. The ice-jam prediction problem can be considered as a binary multivariate time-series classification. Deep learning techniques have been successfully applied for time-series classification in many fields such as finance, engineering, weather forecasting, and medicine. In this research, we successfully applied CNN, LSTM, and combined CN-LSTM networks for ice-jam prediction for all the rivers in Quebec. The results show that the CN-LSTM model yields the best results in the validation and generalization with F1 scores of 0.82 and 0.91, respectively. This demonstrates that CNN and LSTM models are complementary, and a combination of them further improves classification.

In this paper, we investigate the flow of a viscous, Incompressible, electrically conducting fluid through a rectangular duct in the presence of a magnetic field, when one of the boundaries perpedicular to the magnetic field is partly conducting and partly Insulating, by a modified Boundary Integral Method.Three problems are considered (i) flow through an infinite channel, (ii) flow through a rectangular duct when the conducting part is symmetrically situated, and (iii) flow through a rectangular duct when the conducting part is arbltrarily positioned.Such problems have been studied before by asymptotic means for large values of M, the Hartmann number. Hoverer, the present modification of the Boundary Integral Method renders the problem computationally efficient and provides a reliable numerical solution for all values of M. For large M, our coputation time decreases significantly.

The article presents the results of analysis and assessment of risks related to ice jams on the rivers of the Baikal Lake Basin. It also proposes the recommendations for mitigation and rational development of coastal areas. Data on catastrophic ice jam floods for more than 100 years is presented, the factors of their formation and mechanism of their movement are considered. On the basis of official statistics from expedition surveys, potentially dangerous jamming areas have been identified, and the repeatability and extent of floods have been calculated. With the help of ArcGIS package the scale of possible flooding was determined, which allowed to reveal the list of economic objects within the damage area. Specific indicators have been used to calculate the expected damage to territories, facilities and population from the flood hazard. Analysis and assessment of economic risk from the floods on the Selenga River are given. Measures to minimize risks of negative impact of floods are proposed.
