Abstract

In this chapter, the basic equations for unsteady open channel flows are detailed. The continuity and momentum equations are developed for one-dimensional flows: i.e. the Saint-Venant equations. After introducing the basic assumptions, both integral and differential forms of the Saint-Venant equations are introduced. Then the method of characteristics is presented.
