A 1:24 scale hydraulic model study of a water intake under frazil ice conditions is presented. The intake, located 9 m below the surface of the St. Lawrence River in Massena, New York, has a through flow of 0.14 cu m/s. The model study, conducted in the refrigerated flume facility of the U.S. Army C...
