Description

Frazil ice nucleation mechanisms have been reviewed in the light of recent experimental evidence. The mass exchange mechanism proposed by Osterkamp et al. has been generalized. It is shown that only mass exchange processes and secondary nucleation can account for frazil ice production in streams and rivers.
