Abstract

We study non-stationary flow in open discharge channels. A model is derived from basic principles, conservation of mass and momentum, which is solved numerically for the cross sectional area and discharge as a function of time and position along the channel. The model describes the effect of external inflow from fields adjacent to the channel. Several scenarios are calculated, both for very slowly, and more rapidly flowing water courses.
