Hydraulic Engineering

This volume covers Japan’s long water history, from the 7th century until current times and future outlook. It elaborates on various roles of dams such as water supply, power generation, and flood control. It also clarifies the negative impacts of dams on the natural environment and local societies,..

This manual provides the procedures and data necessary to calculate discharges over and through hydraulic structures...

This text covers topics such as: hydrodynamic and water quality modeling; jets and plumes; turbulent sheer flows; air-water interaction; water quality models; environmental impact studies/Three Gorges project; water quality mangement; and eco hydr.....

This volume examines the work of the National Estuary Program, the prominent federally-funded initiative that addresses pollution and other anthropogenic impacts on estuarine ecosystems. Estuary Restoration and Maintenance sets into clear perspective the state of America's estuarine waters, the effe..

A study in the development of flow adaptive numerical schemes in computational hydraulics directed to enhancing modelling capabilities. It includes examples such as additional flow resistance due to flexible vegetation; one-dimensional supercritical flow; and flow in networks of channels...

This well-established text book fills the gap between the general texts on fluid mechanics and the highly specialised volumes on hydraulic engineering. It covers all aspects of hydraulic science normally dealt with in a civil engineering degree..

Open channel flow can be understood through just a few simple equations, graphs, and computational tools. Geared to a first course in open channel flow, this book outlines current theory with clear and fully solved examples. Offering practical computational tools, such as spreadsheet applications an..
