In this paper the theorem of uniqueness of a classical solution of the system of non-linear 1-D Saint Venant equations is proved. This uniqueness theorem is setup for the system of non-linear 1-D Saint Venant equations in canonical form under respective initial and boqndary condiiions. 1. Introduction The system of 1-D Saint Venant equations describes flows in a river or open channel. It became kernel of a mathematical modeling for the river flow simulat ion. Problem of uniqueness of a classical solution of this system of equations is important especially in the non-linear case. 2. Boundary Condition for the System of 1-D Saint Venant Equations · . System of 1-D Saint Venant Equations The System of 1-D Saint Venant Equations [1] describes a flow in river or open channel system. There are several forms of this system (see [2]). In this paper, we use the system of 1-D Saint Venant equations in the following form: ah ah Aau -·&t +u-+ ax -b -ax =0 . au ah au . -at + g -ax + u -ax = -g(St- So) where: with 0 :::; x :::; L and 0 :::; t :::; T h - Depth of water in the river /channel 231 () u- Velocity of the river/channel flow A - Cross section area of the riverJchannel flow b - Width of water in the river/ channel S 1 - Force due to bottom friction Sa- Force due to gravity The system of equations () is d~vised from the system of equations () in [2] assuming that cr~ss section 0).
