Abstract: A physical model study at CRREL examined the ice passage capability of new lock designs, focusing on important factors such as the configuration of the upper approach, the design of the lock filling and emptying system and the location and design of culvert intakes and outlets. Unconventional ice passage techniques such as manifolds in the miter gates were also evaluated. Physical model results were compared to field observations, and a parallel series of tests using the DynaRICE ice-hydraulic numerical model. This paper describes physical modeling portion of the study and presents preliminary findings.
