Kinematic wave theory of catchment response with storage

Journal of Hydrology, 1982
Abstract A catchment response model is proposed on the basis of storage and channel elements which may be linear or non-linear. It is assumed that rainfall excess immediately enters off-channel storage elements within the catchment before being transferred to channel elements.

Kinematic-wave theory of sedimentation beneath inclined walls

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1982
The two-phase flow in settling vessels with walls that are inclined to the vertical is investigated. By neglecting inertial effects and the viscosity of the suspension i t is shown that the particle concentration remains constant on kinematic-wave fronts.

Wave Theory Predictions of Crest Kinematics

1990
In much of the practice of coastal and ocean engineering, the question of which wave theory to use has been largely of academic interest. Consideration of shallow water and/or higher order wave theories has been complicated by the relative inaccessibility of these theories.

Use of kinematic wave theory to model irrigation on cracking soil

Irrigation Science, 1997
Border irrigation in Australia is characterised by excessive run-off and variable water use efficiencies. This paper discusses an analytical irrigation model that, because of its simplicity, represents a tool for improving water management in border irrigation.

Projected spin wave theory. I. Diagrammatic evaluation of the kinematical interaction

Journal of Physics C: Solid State Physics, 1985
The evaluation at T=0 of the kinematical effects in the spin wave theory for S=1/2 Heisenberg ferro- and antiferromagnets has been achieved, projecting out the nonphysical magnonic contribution following Herbert's method. Moreover, the projected average value has been generalised to any operator and extended to any number of projection operators by ...

Kinematic wave theory of bottlenecks of varying capacity

Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 1956
ABSTRACTThis paper discusses a problem in traffic flow by the method of kinematic waves developed by Lighthill and Whitham(1,2). The theory of kinematic waves introduced by Lighthill and Whitham has been extended here to include the case when the flow q varies with the time, and it is seen that the expression for the wave velocity is of the same form ...

Application of the theory of kinematic waves to the centrifugation of suspensions

Ingenieur-Archiv, 1983
The settling of solid particles in a liquid due to centrifugal force is described by using the equations of one-dimensional unsteady two-phase flow. By neglecting the acceleration terms the momentum equation can be reduced to a functional relationship between the dependant variables of the problem (volumetric concentration α of the solid particles and ...

On kinematic waves II. A theory of traffic flow on long crowded roads

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1955
This paper uses the method of kinematic waves, developed in part I, but may be read independently. A functional relationship between flow and concentration for traffic on crowded arterial roads has been postulated for some time, and has experimental backing (§2). From this a theory of the propagation of changes in traffic distribution along these roads
