Non-Hydrostatic Free Surface Flows (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides essential information on the higher mathematical level of approximation over the gradually varied flow theory, also referred to as the Boussinesq-type theory. In this context, it presents higher order flow equations, together with their applications in a broad range of pertinent engineering and environmental problems, including open channel, groundwater, and granular material flows.

Rezensionen

"Non-Hydrostatic Free Surface Flows ... is an exceptional book that masterfully takes the reader on a brave voyage into a universe of Free-Surface Flows that do not presume a hydrostatic pressure distribution in the vertical direction. ... The wealth of information amassed in this text is extraordinary. Both students and researchers will find that the quality of the presentation is outstanding, and the didactic value of the text is unparalleled." (Nikolaos D. Katopodes, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, Vol. 147 (10), 2021)
"'Nonhydrostatic free surface flows' is an excellent book that merits having a place on the shelves of any person dedicated to any discipline in which the flow of water might be fundamental, from ecology to civil engineering." (Juan V. Giraldez, Environmental Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 19, 2019)
"This is the first free surface hydraulics book dedicated to Boussinesq's theory since Boussinesq's 1877 book. The book contains a clear presentation of basic theoretical aspects. It is carefully illustrated and edited. ... Non-hydrostatic free surface flows is a valuable addition to the literature, containing information that will be of great interest for students, researchers and professors working in open channel hydraulics." (Takashi Hosoda, Journal of Hydraulic Research, April, 2018)
