Open-Channel Flow (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Analysis of open-channel flow is essential for the planning, design, and operation of water-resource projects. The use of computers and the availability of efficient computational procedures has simplified such analysis, and made it possible to handle increasingly complex systems.

In Open-Channel Flow, Second Edition, author Hanif Chaudhry draws upon years of practical experience and incorporates numerous examples and real life applications, to provide the reader with:

• A strong emphasis on the application of efficient solution techniques, computational procedures, and numerical methods suitable for computer analyses;

• Complete coverage of steady and unsteady flow techniques;

• A new chapter on sediment transport and updated chapters on uniform flow and two dimensional flow techniques;

• New and updated problem sets and exercises, a solutions manual for instructors.

Open-Channel Flow, Second Edition is written for students in senior-level undergraduate and graduate courses on steady and unsteady open-channel flow and for civil engineers needing up-to-date and relevant information on the latest developments and techniques in the field.

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."
