Abstract: The governing equation for kinematic wave (KW) flow on a diverging alluvial fan is derived and presented with comparison with observed data. The key factors to describe a diverging KW flow are found to be the angle of apex, ...

Abstract: The governing equation for converging kinematic wave (KW) flow was derived and compared with laboratory measurement and field tests. The key factors for converging KW flows are found to be excess rainfall depth, surface ...
