A definitive guide to open channel hydraulics—fully updated for the latest tools and methods
This thoroughly revised textbook offers focused coverage of some of the most common problems encountered by practicing hydraulic engineers and includes recent research and personal computing advances. Throughout, special emphasis is placed on the application of basic fluid mechanics principles to the formulation of open channel flow problems.
Based on a course taught by the author for nearly 40 years, Open Channel Hydraulics, Third Edition features clear explanations of floodplain mapping, flood routing, bridge hydraulics, and culvert design. Culvert energy dissipation, fish passage, street gutter flow, storm sewer inlets, storm sewers, detention basins, channel stability, bridge scour, and sediment transport are thoroughly discussed. You will get new details on storm water management and methodologies.
Contains new MATLAB programs to teach problem-solving methods Includes end-of-chapter exercises and example problems Written by an experienced hydraulic engineer and educator
