[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The Branch-Network Dynamic Flow Model (BRANCH) is used to simulate steady or
unsteady flow in a single open-channel reach (branch) or throughout a system of
branches (network) connected in a dendritic or looped pattern. BRANCH is
applicable to a wide range of hydrologic situations wherein flow and transport
are governed by time-dependent forcing functions. BRANCH is particularly
suitable for ... View entire text
