Diffusive Wave Approximation

Diffusive Wave Approximation is a simplification of the full Saint-Venant equations in flood wave propagation that retains the effects of gravity and friction while neglecting inertial terms, thereby modeling flood waves as a diffusive process governed by a balance between storage, discharge, and bed slope.
