This paper introduces the influence coefficient algorithm, a simple, easily implemented, and rapidly convergent computational procedure for the solution of the parameter identification problem in unsteady open channel flow from field observations on stage hydrograph and velocity distribution at one or more points along the channel. (Identification is a mathematical process whereby the parameters embedded in a differential equation defining a system are determined from observations of system input and output.) The parameters specifically chosen for identification are the two ‘friction slope’ characteristics: the channel roughness coefficient and the exponent of the hydraulic radius in the empirical friction slope relation, a number usually assumed to be 4/3. These parameters are not physically measurable and have to be determined from the solutions of the mathematical model using concurrent input and output measurements. This new procedure is related to both quasilinearization and gradient methods. Additionally, an effective formulation of the algorithm is shown to depend on certain stability and convergence features related to the finite difference solutions of the governing flow equations but often ignored or glossed over.
