The effect of ice cover on vertical transfer is examined based on the Reynolds' analogy and composite logarithmic velocity distributions. A finite difference scheme is used to predict concentration profiles in a two‐dimensional channel. Comparisons made between the ice‐covered condition and the ice‐free condition show that considerable reduction in mixing capacity of the channel is caused by the ice cover.
