The network formulation consists of breaking the network up into a series of connected reaches; reducing the finite difference equations for each reach into two ‘reach’ equations; forming an exterior matrix consisting of the reach equations, external boundary conditions, and interior compatibility conditions; solving the external matrix for the end values of discharge and water surface elevation for all reaches; and back-substituting for all interior values. Examples presented include the James River, USA, estuary model (24 nodes and 26 reaches), the Cork Harbor, Ireland, estuary (13-reach double-looped network), and the Rio Bayamon basin, Puerto Rico. Results are very satisfactory when they are compared to known data. date: 1975-06 date_type: published publisher: Wiley id_number: doi:10.1029/WR011i003p00423 creators_browse_id: 2525 full_text_status: none publication: Water Resources Research volume: 11 number: 3 pagerange: 423-430 refereed: TRUE issn: 00431397 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Wood, E.F. , Harley, B.M., & Perkins, F.E.
