Depth-independent kinematic wave parameters for trapezoidal and power-law channels

For a given open channel, solving the kinematic wave equation with flow depth-independent kinematic wave parameters is very common due to its simplicity. The kinematic wave parameters cannot be analytically estimated independently of the flow depth, except for some special cross-sections. In this re...
