Abstract: Modeling of ice flow in the converging channel was performed taking in mind in particular ice flow in the zones of narrowing the river-bed and in the sea straits. The governing equations for the rigid plastic medium and fracture criteria for the rigid fracturing medium were used to describe ice cover deformation and fracture. The arching formation in the converging channel was modeled and the characteristic parameters of the limit states accompanied by arc formation as well as sizes and location of the arcs were determined.
