Description
Environmental Hydraulics is a new text for students and professionals studying advanced topics in river and estuarine systems. The book
contains the full range of subjects on open channel flows, including mixing and dispersion, Saint-Venant equations method of characteristics
and interactions between flowing water and its surrondings (air entrainment, sediment transport).
Following the approach of Hubert
Chanson's highly successful undergraduate textbook Hydraulics of Open Channel Flow, the reader is guided step-by-step from the basic
principles to more advanced practical applications.
Each section of the book contains many revision exercises, problems and assignments
to help the reader test their learning in practical situations.
Audience
Students (senior undergraduate, but mainly graduate and research) of civil engineering, environmental engineering, especially hydraulics and fluid mechanics.
