Abstract: A new model of supercooling and frazil ice carrying capacity of a flow is presented. The fundamental concepts of the model are: vertical fluctuation in the flow play a central role in frazil size distribution, and the supercooling process is a process whereby frazil formation reaches the suspended-frazil capacity of the flow. The model output provides a good fit to Carstens' (1966) supercooled data. The model can be readily extended to account for anchor and surface ice growth.
