14-23: Structural Modification of a Power Plant’s River Water Intake to Thermal Performance The second phaseA numerical study was conducted to evaluate design alternatives to alleviate ice accumulation at the river intake. A numerical model to predict the ice transport and accumulation at the river intake was developed and validated. The model was used to understand the main phenomenon leading to ice transport and accumulation. This paper will describe the use of the model to analyze the effectiveness of mitigation measures. A mitigation plan consisting of
