Open-Channel Hydraulics

This book integrates the traditional areas of open-channel hydraulics with new developments such as stratified flow, dam break, and turbulent mixing and dispersion. It emphasizes fundamental principles of problem solving, while noting that standard computer codes are available to solve many of the computationally complex problems that confront the modern engineer. Each chapter is supplemented with example problems solved in great detail. The homework problems accompanying the book were drawn from the author's many years of experience both as a teacher and a consultant.
