Abstract
AbstractAn analytical solution for overland flow under (upstream and downstream) moving storms that uses Laplace transformation to solve the one-dimensional (1D) linear kinematic wave equation is presented. This solution, which corresponds to a single continuous function for the total space-time domain of the overland hydrograph, enables evaluation of the discharge over time for the total drainage plane surface. The result was compared with another analytical solution, a numerical simulation, and experimental runs using a laboratory flume. The comparison showed very good fit, and the proposed analytical solution was thus regarded as validated. By applying the model to hypothetical catchments and storm patterns, distinct hydrologic responses for upstream and downstream moving storms were identified.
