Abstract: Open-channel flow simulations require values of friction parameters that are determined through formulating their inverse problems using a sample of historic events. However, there is a risk of the parameter values being ...

Abstract: The 6-point staggered scheme has inherent problems with the schematization of hydraulic processes that are described by head-discharge relationships in the form of (1) rating relationships specifying downstream boundary ...

Abstract: A numerical study of friction parameters associated with nearly flat tidal channels is reported. Such empirical parameters are often back-calculated using complex flow equations through a procedure referred to as “inverse ...

Abstract: Values of calibration parameters embedded in open-channel flow equations normally are ascertained using observation data that often contains Gaussian noise. These values subsequently suffer from induced errors even if they ...
