However, in simple situation, the kinematic wave is mainly advecting.
2.
The kinematic wave is used in HEC-HMS.
3.
Kinematic wave routing allows flow and area to vary both spatially and temporally within a conduit.
4.
If you use the kinematic wave routing then the nodes do not need to contain an outfall.
5.
In these flows, mass and momentum equations can be combined to yield a kinematic wave equation.
6.
CTM produces results consistent with the continuous Kinematic wave equation when the density specified in the initial condition changes gradually.
7.
Surface water flow can be simulated as a simple one-dimensional flow-through network or with the kinematic wave method.
8.
However, CTM replicates discontinuities and shock that take a span of few cells of space but moves at correct speed predicted by the Kinematic wave equation.
9.
In each of the lane the underperforming stream is described in terms of its desired speed distribution and is modeled as per Newell s kinematic wave theory for moving bottlenecks.
10.
Depending on the flow configurations, the kinematic wave can be linear or non-linear, which depends on whether the wave celerity is a constant or a variable.
