Abstract: A model is developed to evaluate the net heat loss from the surface of riverbeds under winter conditions. The model predicts the ice growth in rivers by taking into consideration the heat transfer at the surface due to convection, evaporation, long-wave radiation, and solar radiation. The iterative scheme employed predicts the accelerated ice growth in the presence of frazil ice beneath an ice layer.
