Abstract: In certain important reaches of some Icelandic rivers, the ice production is predominantly frazil ice that is incessantly carried downstream. Calculations of frazil ice discharge are of importance in connection with design and energy production studies and ice forecasts for planning operations. Methods for such calculations have been developed and good agreement between calculated and observed ice discharge has been obtained at the Burfell dam site on the Thjorsa River. This paper contains a description and discussion of the various factors that form the basis for such calculations with special reference to the Burfell dam site.
