Input Data Computed Values Physical Hydrology, 2nd Ed.

Reach Characteristics:
Length, X = 1000 m
Width, B = 30.0 m
Slope, S = 0.0005
Manning's n = 0.05
Inflow-Hydrograph Characteristics:
Inflow hydrograph peak, QIpk = 35.00 m^3/s
Duration of inflow-hydrograph rise, Tr = 1.00 hr
Flow Characteristics:
Flow Depth, Y-3/4 = 1.50 m
Flow Velocity, U-3/4 = 0.58 m/s
Flood-Wave Velocity, U-F = 0.97 m/s
Reach Travel Time, T* = 1026 s = 0.285 hr
Select Routing Time Step:
Dt must be < T* and < Tr/5
Dt = 0.1 hr
value OK

Routing coefficient CX = 0.35
