Liquid Analog Model for Laboratory Simulation of Rainfall–Runoff Process

A liquid analog model (LAM) is presented as a new hydrological laboratory device for rainfall–runoff modeling. The model is applied to simulate Nash’s model in the laboratory for real rainfall–runoff data. Due to its simple structure and ease of operation, LAM can be an effective educational tool for rainfall–runoff modeling. It seems that LAM can also be used for simulating other flow processes in the laboratory.
