Hydraulic and hydrological flood routing methods are commonly used to analyze temporal and spatial flood
influences of flood wave through a river reach. Hydrological flood routing method has relatively more simple and
reasonable performance accuracy compared to the hydraulic method. Storage constant used in Muskingum method
widely applied in hydrological flood routing is very similar to the travel time. Focusing on this point, in this study, we
estimate the travel time from HEC-RAS results to estimate storage constant, and develop a non-linear regression
equation for the travel time using reach length, channel slope, and discharge. The estimated flow by Muskingum
model with storage constant of nonlinear equation is compared with the flow calculated by applying the HEC-RAS
1-D unsteady flow simulation. In addition, this study examines the effect on the weighting factor changes and interval
reach divisions; peak discharge increases with the bigger weighting factor, and RMSE decreases with the fragmented
division.
