Abstract

The article presents the results of adaptation and application of two-dimensional hydrodynamic model STREAM_2D to reproduce the characteristics of ice-jam-induced floods in the vicinity of the city of Velikiy Ustyug (the Northern Dvina river basin, Vologda region, Russia). The additional hydraulic resistance due to ice roughness and the decrease in the flow cross-section area due to ice-caused congestion were taken into account for modeling of ice-jam-induced water level variations. The corresponding model parameters were estimated on the basis of numerical experiments and flood modeling for the period from 1980 to 2016, which includes more than 18 significant cases of ice-jamming. Grouping of model parameters by the height of the ice-jam-induced water level rises could be useful for the application of the developed model in the framework of an intelligent information system of river flood monitoring.
