Summary:
The FloodRoute computer program, or simulation
model, calculates the flood wave at the outflow
end of a river reach on the basis of the inflow
wave at the beginning of the stretch. In the
process it calibrates the parameters of the
response function (reaction factor) of the non
linear reservoir that represents the concept
behind the model.
Alternatively it simulates the flood wave at the
outflow end given the parameters of the response
function.
Modelling with FloodRoute gives the opportunity
of predicting the hydraulics of the river or
|
Details:
The reaction (response) factor can be determined
from recorded canal inflow and outflow wave data.
The program uses various reservoir functions and
selects the optimal function giving the highest
correspondence between the observed and simulated
(calculated) outflow wave. Alternatively, it is
possible
to introduce the reservoir function, together
with data of the inflow wave, and the program will
calculate the outflow wave.

Start:
The program starts giving clicking on
FloodRoute.Exe.
More information is given in the program itself.

Documentation:
A description of the procedure and equations used
in FloodRoute is found in this paper on the
wave transport
model.
