Items related to Open-channel Hydraulics (Civil Engineering)
Open-Channel Hydraulics, originally published in 1959, deals with the design for flow in open channels and their related structures. Covering both theory and practice, it attempts to bridge the gap that generally exists between the two. Theory is introduced first and is then applied to design problems. In many cases the application of theory is illustrated with practical examples. Theory is frequently simplified by adopting theoretically less rigorous treatments with sound concepts, by avoiding use of advanced mathematical manipulations, or by replacing such manipulations with practical numerical procedures. To facilitate understanding of the subject matter, the treatment is mostly based on the condition of one- or two-dimensional flow. The book deals mainly with American practice but also includes related information from many countries throughout the world. Material is divided into five main sections for an orderly and logical treatment of the subject: Basic Principles. Uniform Flow, Varied Flow, Rapidly Varied Flow, and Unsteady Flow. There are 67 illustrative examples, 282 illustrations, 319 problems, and 810 references. This classic textbook was the first English-language book on the subject in two decades. Open-Channel Hydraulics is a valuable text for students of engineering mechanics. hydraulics. civil. agricultural. sanitary. and mechanical engineering, and a helpful compendium for practicing engineers. Dr. Ven Te Chow was a Professor of Hydraulic Engineering and led the hydraulic engineering research and teaching programs at the University of Illinois. Through many years of experience as a teacher, engineer, researcher, writer. lecturer, and consultant, he became an internationally recognized leader in the fields of hydraulics, hydrology and hydraulic engineering. Dr. Ven Te Chow authored two technical books and more than 60 articles and papers in scientific an engineering magazines and journals. He was a member of lAHR, ASCE, AGU, AAAS, SEE, and Sigma Xi, and had been Chairman of the American Geophysical Union's Permanent Research Committee on Runoff.

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. Spine sunned, light bump and crease to front corners, minor shelf rubbing, ffep top corner clipped. Text is clean. 'In recent years water-resources projects and hydraulic engineering works have been developing rapidly throughout the world. The knowledge of open-channel hydraulics, which is essential to the designs of many hydraulic structures, has thus advanced by leaps and bounds. . . This book gives broad coverage of recent developments; it should meet the present need [1973]. It is designed as a textbook for both undergraduate and graduate students and also as a compendium for practicing engineers. Emphasis is given to the qualities of 'teachability' and 'practicability', and attempts were made in presenting the material to bridge the gap which is generally recognized to exist between the theory and the practice.'
