Year: 2019 Language: English Author: Oscar Castro-Orgaz Genre: Handbook Publisher: Springer Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 572 Description: The purpose of Shallow Water Hydraulics is to present the theory and the computation of open channel flows using analytical, numerical, and experimental results. The book’s target audience includes graduate and undergraduate students as well as practitioners of civil and environmental engineering. The book is conceptually divided into four parts: fundamental equations (Chap. 1), steady open channel flows (Chaps. 2–4), unsteady open channel flows (Chaps. 5–9), and special topics (Chaps. 10 and 11). As supporting learning material for students, a library of numerical codes is available in Chap. 12. The complexities of theory and numerical methods are progressively increased toward the end of the book, rendering pieces of the material useful for courses of different levels. It appears impossible to start the presentation of a new open channel flow book without acknowledging the former works of Ven Te Chow (Open Channel Hydraulics, 1959) and Francis M. Henderson (Open Channel Flow, 1966). Despite Chow produced an encyclopedic treatise, it is Henderson’s outstanding book that the authors followed. His presentation of concepts is simply unique, and although it was published more than 50 years ago, it is still a main reference. Credit deserves also the books of Subhash C. Jain (Open Channel Flow, 2001) and Hubert Chanson (The Hydraulics of Open Channel Flow: An introduction, 2004), similar to Henderson’s, pursuing a clear and brilliant presentation of open channel flow concepts.
