I INTRODUCTION
The first section of this report includes the governing partial dif-
ferential equations which were found to be used in the majority of the pa-
pers and some basic definitions which we are utilizing in this study. The
second section in this report includes the detail survey sheets in which
the type of hydraulics problem, the cause, the modelling, the solution tech-
nioue utilized, and the existence of experimental verification (if any) are
presented for each paper. The third section lists the references used in
our study; the fourth, the list of source documents, and the final section
