Abstract
Laboratory flume experiments conducted to illuminate flow field and sediment transport characteristics in ice-covered sand-bed channels are discussed. The overall purpose of the experiments was to examine how level ice covers affect flow distribution, flow turbulence characteristics, and sediment transport rates. The experiments were conducted with a nonrefrigerated flume fitted with a sand bed and plywood panels used to simulate cover-floating ice covers. A discriminator laser-doppler velocimeter was used to measure water and sediment particle velocities simultaneously. The addition of a cover and an increase in its roughness increases flow depth and decreases bulk flow velocity, thereby reducing sediment transport rates compared to those in open water flow. The Reynolds shear stress, turbulence intensities, and distribution of sediment size over the depth also change. Copyright 2000 by the American Geophysical Union.
