Abstract
This paper focuses on the application of the modeling techniques and the numerical method to simulate the flood discharge and the water depth in rivers with floodplains. Both the overland and the river flow are considered and the momentum exchange is taken into consideration. Cubic-spline interpolation technique is used to interpolate between the geographic data of the rivers’ cross-sections containing eleven pairs of X–Y points and to calculate the properties of the river cross-sections and their derivative values. A numerical solution of Saint Venant equations with lateralflow is presented for the river network. Observed data in a part of Arakawa River basin in Kanto area, Japan, are used to validate the program. The simulated values show good and acceptable agreements with the observed ones. The diffusive model is suitable for the hill areas and the steep slopes while the dynamic model is suitable for the river flow with high water depths, the flat areas and the mild slopes. The lateral flow and roughness coefficient have significant effects on the simulated resultes.
