To develop an easy-to-use numerical model explaining flood flow, sediment transport and riverbed variation is important for efficient channel design and management. In this study, we developed a new easy two-dimensional method for the flood flow and riverbed variation analysis using stream line. We applied the new model and the conventional model to 2014 flood in the Nakagawa River whose data of water surface profiles were observed in detail. As a result, the authors’ model is capable of explaining water surface profile, velocity distribution and riverbed variation in the Nakagawa River.
