waterolympics: California Water Olympics
In rivr: Steady and Unsteady Open-Channel Flow Computation

Digitized results from the California Water Olympics. The variables are as follows:

t The time (in seconds) since the start of the model run.
Q The flow rate [ft^3 s^{-1}].
x The distance downstream [ft] at which the hydrograph was recorded.

The data can be used to validate numerical solutions to flood wave routing for a channel under the following conditions:

Channel width is 100 feet.
Channel slope is 0.001.
Channel extent is 150,000 feet.
Channel roughness (Manning's n) is 0.045.
Channel sideslope is 0 (rectangular channel).
Initial flow rate is 250 cfs.
Upstream boundary condition is defined as

Q(t < 9000) = 250 + \frac{750}{π}(1 - \cos{\frac{π t}{4500}})

Q(t >= 9000) = 250
