Wu, W: Computational River Dynamics

"[...] this book fills one of the sorely needed areas of hydraulic engineering. The topic is fascinating and readers will find a substantial digest of algorithms for the calculation of hydraulics and sediment transport in deformable channels. The book is particularly well suited for savvy numerical modelers. The straightforward notation and apparently flawless presentation of the algorithms are commendable attributes. [...] With his background from China, studies in Europe, and practice in the United States, the author presents this subject from a unique international perspective."
Pierre Y. Julien, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, October 2008, p. 1542

"The book contains the most extensive coverage of formulas for numerical modeling of sediment transport that I have seen. It is well written with readable English and informative figures. The topics cover most areas of numerical modeling of rivers, from the equation describing the water flow to discretization in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions. [...] Dr. Wu's book is [a] valuable contribution to the field of computational river dynamics."
Nils R. Olsen, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, October 2008, p. 1543

"[...] the present book is to my knowledge a unique resource for engineers and scientists interested in numerical modeling of flow and sediment transport in alluvial channels." George S. Constantinescu, Journal of Hydraulic Research, vol. 46, no. 6, 2008

"This book is one of the first to present a complete picture of the physical principles and numerical methods used in computational river dynamics."
