Muskingum

The Muskingum Routing unit models the flow of water in natural

The Muskingum Routing calculates the discharge within a river or channel reach given the inflow hydrograph at the upstream end. The unit is based on the continuity equation and the Muskingum storage relationship (McCarthy G.T. (1938)).

Cross section details are not required and only the Muskingum parameters k and x are specified. Both parameters are fixed. A minimum of two Muskingum Routing sections are required for each end of the river or channel reach. Copyrights University Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Bogotá - Colombia.
