| Abstract | A procedure for the numerical solution of the equations of the
unsteady free surface flow on the IBM 1130 digital computer, by the method of characteristics with specified intervals, for application to route the flows due to peak load generation through the river channel, is
presented. The procedure is applied to the routing of daily release of flow from Bhumipol Dam, in the North of Thailand, through the downstream river channel, the Ping River. The upstream boundary condition is the discharge hydrograph of flow through the power house and the downstream
boundary condition is the rating curve. The initial condition is the
assumed initial average base flow in the reach. The assumed initial conditions have effect on the computed hydrographs only at the beginning of the computation. So that the computation should start at some time before the consideration time for the purpose of the convergence of the computed results. The flow resistance coefficient n had the most significant effect on the computed results. The computed hydrographs showed good agreement with the measured hydrographs. |
