The dam break problem : effects of an ice cover / by S. Beltaos and B.G. Krishnappan.: En13-5/90-69E-PDF

"A qualitative assessment of the effect of river ice on the propagation of a dam break flood wave is presented. Such effects can be serious, particularly due to ice jamming resulting from partial breakup caused by the flood wave. Quantitative analysis of this problem is not possible at present, owing to lack of pertinent scientific information. Laboratory research using a model-ice material would be helpful"--Abstract.
