Abstract: The thermal and ice regime of a river downstream from a hydroelectric power plant is determined for natural conditions and for the case where water at the outlet of the darn is above 0°C during late autumn and early winter. The model takes into account the following aspects at daily intervals for each segment of the river: heat exchange at the air-water or ice-water interface, initiation and growth of the ice cover, generation and deposition of frazil ice, variation of the parameters of flow. In the present communication, a description of the mathematical model is given together with numerical results for two particular cases.
