A kinematic wave model for rivers with flood plains and other irregular geometries

A general kinematic wave model for flood propagation is presented in the form of a scalar conservation law. The corresponding flux function is convex or nearly convex for regular cross-sections of the river. In the presence of pronounced irregularities, however, convexity may fail. Qualitative conse...
