Hybrid formulation of kinematic wave models of watershed runoff Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Current kinematic wave models of watershed runoff incorporate either numerical or analytical solutions, depending upon the type of input (rainfall pattern) and representation of watershed geometry. Numerical solutions are time-consuming; analytic solutions are not always feasible. This paper formulates these models in terms of an approach called hybrid approach which is part numerical and part analytical. By applying it to a set of rainfall-runoff events on a natural watershed, it is demonstrated that this approach is computationally far more efficient than a totally numerical one, and is applicable where analytical solutions are not feasible. 1975.
