A coupled two-dimensional model for river ice dynamics is developed for simulating ice movement and jamming in river reaches with complex geometries. For the hydrodynamic simulation an Eulerian finite element method is used. A Lagrangian discrete parcel scheme, based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method, is used to simulate the movement of surface ice. The model is applied to the Grass Island Pool area of the upper Niagara River.
