Construction and Calibration of the Ottauquechee River Model.

A model of a 1.5-mile section of the Ottauquechee River in Quechee, Vermont, was built in the Ice Engineering Facility at CRREL to study the complex processes of ice formation, progression and break-up and ice jam flooding. The model scale was 1:50 horizontal and 1:20 vertical. This report outlines...

Description
Summary:A model of a 1.5-mile section of the Ottauquechee River in Quechee, Vermont, was built in the Ice Engineering Facility at CRREL to study the complex processes of ice formation, progression and break-up and ice jam flooding. The model scale was 1:50 horizontal and 1:20 vertical. This report outlines the methods and materials used for construction and calibration. Also mentioned in this report are some of the problems encountered while testing in a cold environment.
