As R = A/P, eq 58 can be rewritten as

where αb and αi are the bed and ice-affected portions of the flow area. The total
shear stress is τb + τi and the total shear force on a unit length of channel is τbPb +
τiPi , which leads to the following expression for Sf

The effects of flow and ice velocities on τiPi are evident in Figure 28. As ice veloc-
ity increases beyond water velocity, the shear stress caused by the jam's presence
reverses to the downstream direction and the portion of the flow area affected by
this force increases.
The full momentum equation for the water flow can be written as
