1D analytical models for gradually-varied flow

Type

Hydromorphological models

Basic principles

Fundamental equations for conservation of water mass and water flow momentum under the assumption of steady flow, spatially averaged over cross-section segments and time-averaged over all turbulent fluctuations.

Outputs

Flow velocities, water depths, water levels, flow shear stresses.
