Abstract

This study aimed to clarify the fundamental phenomenon of salinity intrusion in ice covered river. We carried out salinity intrusion experiment to which model ice-sheet floats on the water surface and one-dimensional two-layered unsteady flow calculation. In this experiment, the vertical flow velocity was measured using particle image velosimetry technique. In the experiment in which ice-sheet exists, the model ice-sheet indirectly attenuated the salinity intrusion because Reynolds number does not become large. Shear stress was computed by having assigned the experiment data to one-dimensional two-layered unsteady flow equation. In both ice and no-ice condition, Interface shear stress has large influence on salinity intrusion. It was shown that the calculation model built by this study can reproduce salinity intrusion experiment.
