Smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of freely moving solid objects in a free-surface flow with applications to river ice dynamics

River ice jams can cause many problems including extreme flooding, damage to structures, interference with navigation, and restrictions on hydropower operations. Their annual cost to the Canadian economy has been estimated to be nearly one hundred million dollars. This thesis explores the applicatio...
