Implementation of a kinematic wave in the runoff block of SWMM. January 1994.

Abstract

The Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) has been developed continuously over the last two decades. Presented are numerical algorithms for solution of kinematic waves for description of overland flow processes. Presented is the background to the model. A series of test have been carried out to evaluate the performance of the modified program. There is scope for future work to improve SWMM.
