Computational River Dynamics

A comprehensive text on the fundamentals of modeling flow and sediment transport in rivers, this book covers the physical principles and numerical methods for various degrees of complexity. It includes 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D models, as well as the integration and coupling of these models, along with a broad selection of numerical methods for open-channel flows. The book discusses sediment transport modeling approaches, sediment transport theory, and non-uniform sediment transport formulae. With worked examples that illustrate various conditions, the books presents the complete picture of physical principles and numerical methods used in computational river dynamics.
