Abstract
The experimental study was carried out to investigate propagation distance of flood wave due to levee breach in a flat inundation area without obstacle. Hitter solution was considered to formulate the experimental results and a representative form was written referring to existing researches. As a result of experiments, it was found that the propagation velocity of the wave front in inundation area was significantly influenced by the initial water level in a channel, which was similar to flow in a channel due to dam break. An empirical formula was also suggested using the experimental results. The dimensionless propagation distance L can be written as the power function of dimensionless time T Coefficients k and m were varied with the dimensionless time T whereas k and m in Ritter solution were 2 and 0, respectively. The variation of coefficients in the relationship between L and T was influenced by the water depth in the inundation area and the fact proved that the changing points of L in the slope of relationship between L and T are the same to those of relationship between the dimensionless maximum water depth in the inundation area, $h_{max}$ and L.
