Description
This book is an outgrowth of research contributions and teaching experiences by all the authors in applying modern fluid mechanics to
problems of pollutant transport and mixing in the water environment. It should be suitable for use in first year graduate level courses
for engineering and science students, although more material is contained than can reasonably be taught in a one-year course, and most
instructors will probably wish to cover only selected potions. The book should also be useful as a reference for practicing hydraulic
and environmental engineers, as well as anyone involved in engineering studies for disposal of wastes into the environment. The practicing
consulting or design engineer will find a thorough explanation of the fundamental processes, as well as many references to the current
technical literature, the student should gain a deep enough understanding of basics to be able to read with understanding the future
technical literature evolving in this evolving field.
Audience
Graduate students in science and engineering, as well as practicing hydraulic and environmental engineers.
