A model material for river ice breakup studies / by S. Beltaos, J. Wong and W.J. Moody.: En13-5/90-77E-PDF
"Laboratory simulation of river ice breakup processes would enable control of ice and flow conditions and permit observation of important phenomena which, in nature, take place under water. A synthetic material with properties suitable for laboratory studies of breakup and related phenomena has been developed recently. This material is fine-grained, needs no refrigeration, and its properties compare well with those of existing materials, used mainly to model ice-vessel and ice-structure interactions. The new material performed satisfactorily in two test series, designed to test the interaction of water waves and ice jams with the intact sheet ice cover"--Abstract.
