Abstract
This study proposes the method for determining the Muskingum channel routing model parameters based on the assumption of linear system. The proposed method was applied to the Chungju dam basin for the evaluation. Additionally, the rainfall-runoff was repeated for the Yeongchun-Chungju dam reach using seven rainfall events observed. Summarizing the results is as follows. First, the concentration time and storage coefficient of a channel reach formed by the subdivision can be expressed as the difference between the concentration times and storage coefficients of upstream and downstream basins. The storage coefficients of the channel reach estimated is equal to the storage coefficient of the Muskingum channel routing model and the weight factor can be simply estimated using the ratio between the concentration time and storage coefficient. Second, the weight factor of the Muskingum model is in inverse proportion to the Russel coefficient, which is in between 0.4166 and 0.625 when considering the Russel coefficients generally applied. Finally the application to the Yeongchun-Chungju dam reach showed that the proposed method is still valid regardless of the limitations such as the uncertainty of the observed data.
