Open-Channel Flow (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Now in the third edition, this text on open-channel flow presents introductory material on the topic as well as up-to-date information for the planning, design, and operation of water-resource projects. It has a very strong emphasis on the application of efficient solution techniques, computational procedures, and modern methods of analysis and provides detailed coverage of steady and unsteady flows. The new edition includes a new chapter on the modeling of levee breach, new sections on hydraulic models and velocity measurements, new and updated references and problem sets and exercises, and a solutions manual. The material has been class tested over many years and the book is an ideal textbook for students in senior-level undergraduate and graduate courses on open-channel flow and hydraulic engineering, and as a reference for civil engineers needing up-to-date information on the latest developments in open-channel flow.

• Detailed coverage of steady and unsteady flows;
• Includes practical examples and sample computer programs in Python;
• New problem sets, some designed especially for take-home tests, and a solution manual for instructors.

Autor

M. Hanif Chaudhry, Ph.D., is CEC Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering and Associate Dean (International Programs) in the College of Engineering and Computing, University of South Carolina. Dr. Chaudhry received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. His area of specialization is water resource engineering with emphasis on the mathematical and physical modeling of steady and unsteady flows in closed conduits and open-channel. He has served as a specialist consultant to national and international organizations and consulting engineering companies in all six continents on large water resource projects and to law firms in litigation cases. His research interests include both numerical and experimental investigations on fluid transients in pipelines, on flood flows in rivers and channels, on levee breach, and on dam failure.

Rezensionen

Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage:

" In dem Handbuch wird ausführlich auf die Theorie der unterschiedlichen Fließzustände, die zu berücksichtigenden Bedingungen und Auslegungsansätze, den Sedimenttransport u. v. a. m. eingegangen. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt wird auf die Umsetzung der Berechnungen in den unterschiedlichen Programmen und Verfahren sowie den jeweils zu beachtenden Gesetzmäßigkeiten und Randbedingungen gelegt, so dass dieses Werk nicht nur für Einsteiger von Interesse sein dürfte."

From the reviews of the second edition:

"Analysis of open-channel flows is essential for planning, design and operation of water-resource projects. ... The book contains new and updated problems and exercises, a solutions manual for instructors ... The book is written for using in senior-level undergraduate and graduate courses on steady and unsteady open-channel flows and for civil engineers which need state-of the art information ... in the field." (Nina Shokina, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1149, 2008)
