Sensitivity of flood-routing models to variations of momentum equation coefficients and terms

The Saint-Venant equations consist of a continuity equation and a well-known dynamic wave equation. The dynamic wave equation is actually a simplification from a more complicated exact momentum equation by assuming some coefficients as constants and neglecting some terms involved in the exact momentum equation. In this study, a systematic and comprehensive investigation is conducted to detect the sensitivity of flood-routing models to the variations of the coefficients and terms in the exact momentum equation.
