Abstract: A computerized calculation procedure is presented for a complex ice-thermal regime varying with time and along the length of a canal-connected chain of storages. The technique is based on the consecutive application of the heat balance equation to a number of successive reaches of the waterbody. Heat advection consideration permits to ascertain the location and dimensions of air holes in the ice cover due to heat flux induced by thermal conductivity coefficient variations in the waterbody with an increase in flow velocity and a decrease of water depth in the storage. Calculation of the ice-thermal regime when designing such complex water bodies is helpful in selecting proper water storage operating conditions and in combatting ice troubles.
