Urban drainage models utilize hydraulics of different levels. Developing or selecting a model appropriate to a particular project is not an easy task. Not knowing the hydraulic principles and numerical techniques used in an existing model, users often misuse and abuse the model. Hydraulically, the use of the Saint-Venant equations is not always necessary. In many cases the kinematic wave equation is inadequate because of the backwater effect, whereas in designing sewers, often Manning's formula is adequate. The flow travel time provides a guide in selecting the computational time step At, which in turn, together with flow unsteadiness, helps in the selection of steady or unsteady flow routing. Often the noninertia model is the appropriate model for unsteady flow routing, whereas delivery curves are very useful for stepwise steady nonuniform flow routing and for determination of channel capacity.

We have known that many of the main features of river can be captured in a relatively simple cellular computer model. Here we examine some of the detailed characteristics of this model. We show a new tangential angle and special treatment method in curvature channel in a simple cellular model. The water distribute will be determined by the tangential angle which represent the flow direction. And the same tangential angle cellular in curvature reach will be transport in one group in filially. The results show it can make the flow routing conformed to the real river, and solve the question of curve bending coefficient is too large. The results of the routing scheme are compared with field measurements of cross-section, with the predictions of a more close to the real. It’s indicate that the curvature flow routing scheme outlined here is able to overcome some of the limitations of previous simple cellular automata models and may be suitable for use in curvature reach of river modeling water and sediment transport and channel change in complex fluvial environments. As such this research represents a small and ongoing contribution to the field of numerical simulation of curvature channel processes.
