Kinematic subsurface stormflow

Beven, Keith·1981·Water Resources Research

Abstract

This paper builds on the analysis of Henderson and Wooding (1964) in comparing simplified models of subsurface stormflow for the case of a sloping soil mantle in which the hydraulic conductivity is constant throughout. It is shown that models based on a kinematic wave formulation may be good approximations for those based on the extended Dupuit‐Forchheimier assumptions for values of the nondimensional parameter λ = 4 i cos θ/(K sin 2 θ) less than about 0.75 in terms of predicting both water table profiles and subsurface stormflow hydrographs. By using this critical value of λ the range of values of slope angle and saturated hydraulic conductivity for which the kinematic approximation is valid can be specified. A comparison is made with slope angles and hydraulic conductivities at field sites where subsurface stormflow has been shown to be an important component of catchment storm response. It is concluded that the kinematic approximation may be useful for cases of practical interest.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
