Synopsis

Open Channel Hydraulics is intended for advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students in the general fields of water resources and environmental engineering. It offers a focused presentation of some of the most common problems encountered by practicing engineers with the inclusion of recent research advances and personal computer applications. In addition, emphasis is placed on the application of basic principles of fluid mechanics to the formulation of open channel flow problems so that the assumption and limitation of existing numerical models are made clear.

About this title

From the Publisher:

The book is a useful addition to any consulting engineer's library, as well as a practical textbook on the fundamentals of open channel flow.
Each chapter contains worked-out example problems to aid in the understanding of the text material. Where possible, solutions are given in dimensionless form in graphs to promote an intuitive feel of the physics of the problem.
At the end of each chapter, exercises are presented which involve application of the material previously learned, as well as student exploration of further ramifications of the text material.
