| Abstract | The tank model which is one of the hydrological models is used
to synthesize the downstream hydrograph from the given upstream hydrograph or hydrographs. The applicability of this model is investigated on the basis of comparison with that resulted downstream hydrograph obtained by solving
the unsteady free surface flow equations. The unsteady free surface flow equations are solved numerically using the node and branch schematization. The study is conducted for various types of river networks having
different river geometry. The input upstream hydrographs introduced have different peaks, shapes and lag times. These input hydrographs are the out
flows from the catchments having different drainage areas as well as their surface slopes.
From the results it is inferred that in most cases the tank model can be regarded as practically acceptable in its accuracy in the range of high flood discharges. |
