COMPUTATIONAL METHODS FOR CHANNEL FLOW

The term "channel flow" is used to comprise all kinds of watercourses like rivers, channels, creeks, tidal areas or even closed conduits. The method described has been designed and used at the Delft Hydraulics Laboratory to operate in all circumstances and should be able to include complications like weirs, and pumping stations. A rather fundamental difference exists between computational methods for steady and for unsteady flow. These are, therefore, discussed separately. The basis for all methods is found in the equations of motion.
