Abstract: By applying the kinematic wave method to a homogeneous, rectangular overland plane, the influence of the constant and proportional-loss models on the design discharge are examined. The examination shows that with the use ...

Abstract: Based on the kinematic-wave equations, a time of concentration formula for overland flow over a series of planes is derived. The formula is applicable to a cascade of planes, to planes of different roughnesses, to planes ...

Abstract: Time of travel in channel is an important parameter in drainage design. By means of the kinematic wave theory, it is possible to obtain an analytical time of travel formula for certain idealized channel conditions. Hitherto, ...
