Short summary
We present two new methods for uniform flow computation, named LHRM and INCM. We also present the calibration and first validation from laboratory experimental data, second validation by field discharge hydrographs estimated by measured water level data, and the third validation from a 3-D solution of CFX code applied to a reach of the Alzette River.
