Generalized Muskingum equation Let and get Q4=f(Q1 , Q2 , Q3) Collecting terms, Setting b = 0.5 yields where
or Convert the Wave equation to a Diffusion equation Diffusion coefficient is related to channel conveyance Deriving the Diffusion equation Non-centered finite difference scheme creates a numerical error
Compare the two equations for the diffusion coeff. D f(a,b,D)=0 leads to multiple sets of (a,b) coordinates for any value of D. Determine weighting coefficients
Numerical Stability Criteria Condition for numerical stability is Unstable
