Study on distributed hydrological model of solving physical equation on grids
A hydrological model was developed by adopting Preissmann implicit scheme of channel flow and the ideas of distributed hydrological model CASC2D,and it was compared with explicit finite difference method.In this model,a method of saturation excess runoff that was developed for the Xinanjiang model,is used to calculate runoff process on every grid cell and it was compared with the models solving Green-Ampt equation.To improve CASC2D modeling technique,a linear reservoir method with time lag is used for groundwater runoff routing.Application of this improved model to the Goodwin Creek catchment and the Shujia catchment shows high accuracy of simulation.With fast developing of geographic information systems and remote sensing,distributed hydrological models will be widely applied to simulation of flood for small and medium catchments.
