A numerical scheme for solving of shallow water equations: microcomputer version for IBM PC

Abstract The implicit four-point scheme for solving unsteady shallow water equations was tested for rapidly varied flow conditions, generated by a hydropower station. A microcomputer version of FORTRAN code was developed and implemented for the family of IBM PC and compativle computers. Results of numerical experiments were compared with observed water level elevations recorded during one weekly period during operation of the hydropower facility.
