Fig. 4: Discrete Representation of the Topography within BASEchain
In one dimension, an element consists of two nodes with known cross-section. With a cellcentred discretization, all variables – velocity, flow depth and cross-section geometry - are
defined at the location of the nodes. The midpoint of the connecting line between two nodes
defines the common edge of the two elements.
The more nodes are known, the better the representation of the real world data, especially at
regions with strongly curved watercourse.
