Abstract

This report is a verbatum transcript of the end-of-project report to MAFF that was prepared at the University of Birmingham in consultation with Dr P G Samuels of HR Wallingford. The research is described in greater detail in the PhD thesis prepared by Dr X N Tang at the University of Birmingham on this topic, which was also issed as report TR 94 (Sept 1999) from HR Wallingford. The aims of the research were as follows: 1) to develop a simple method for estimating routing parameters from cross section survey; 2) to test the method against flood propagation data from UK rivers. As a preliminary exercise, it was necessary to examine the basis of flood routing procedures for inbank and overbank flow, and to develop an efficient scheme for the VPMC method of flood routing.
