Abstract
Junius Massau [see “References” at end of paper, 1889, p. 435] gave the principle of a method for solving the type of partial differential equations involved in unsteady flow in open channels. In a later paper [1900] he developed the application to unsteady flow, reaching interesting conclusions regarding the formation, travel, and disappearance of various phenomena; such as the moving jump, the rolling flood wave, and the bore. The application of Massau's methods in combination with modern computational procedures should facilitate the study of many problems that have so far defied satisfactory solution. Massau's original papers treat more complicated cases, but a resume based on the special case of flow in rectangular channels will illustrate the general line of attack.
