Abstract: The applicability of the kinematic wave (KW) approximation was investigated for unsteady flow in prismatic channels. Each of the 16 cases analyzed under steady flow conditions by Moramarco et al. (2008) was now perturbed ...

Abstract: The applicability of the kinematic wave (KW) and diffusive wave (DW) approximations was investigated for steady flow in prismatic channels by using a second-order two-step Lax-Wendroff numerical scheme coupled with the ...

Abstract: A large number of dams were built in Italy in the first decades of the last century to supply the needs of industrial, electric power, agricultural, and drinking purposes. Among them, the Montedoglio dam, an important ...
