Abstract

The purpose of the present work is to simulate the water surface profile along Damietta branch of the river Nile and to make  a comparative studies between three computational techniques used for such simulation. These methods include the standard step method, the Ezra method and the fail discharge method.
Applying the foregoing techniques and incorporating the proposed discharge of El-Salam canal both the water surface profile and water current could be predicted.
