Abstract

This research work provides analytical solution of the positive surge waves, Propagating either upstream or downstream based on the momentum principle. The solution based on the numerical solution of the governing equations of motion (the characteristics method) is also highlighted. Experimental work was carried out to make a comparative study between the actual measurements and the corresponding theoretical relationships for a horizontal plain bed channel. The effect of bed roughness on the shape and characteristics of such waves was under consideration.
