Finite element modeling of surge propagation and an application to the Hay River, N.W.T.

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 Rive...
