Abstract: Water flowing down a dry channel and infiltrating into the channel bed constitutes a free boundary problem. The free boundary is the time history of the water edge or front. In this paper we discuss a kinematic wave model of the problem. The problem is formulated in Sec. 1 and the results summarized in Sec. 2. In Secs. 3 and 4 the mathematical details are carried out, and in Sec. 5 a model using the continuity and momentum equations of hydraulics is discussed.
