An analytical procedure is developed for predicting the surface profile of a bore in a channel of constant water depth caused by the breaking of a dam. The velocity field of bore is assumed to be analogous to the conventional plane turbulent wall jet in a coordinate system moving with the bore. The model is analyzed as a quasi-steady flow, and the flow equations are satisfied in depth-integrated form. The validity of the solution is examined through comparison with the results of laboratory experiments. It is found that the present procedure is applicable to bores over a relatively smooth bed.
