Study of Ice Clogged Channel Clearing Problems.
This study develops a mathematical model for the simulation of ships transiting a river under brash ice conditions. The model predicts the growth of the ice on the St. Marys and St. Lawrence Rivers and the subsequent transit times and delays of the ships at traffic levels predicted for the year 2000...
