River Hydraulics

Technical Engineering and Design Guides as adapted from the US Army Corps of Engineers, No. 18. This guidebook introduces basic principles and technical procedures for the analysis of open channel flows in natural river systems. Pragmatic methods for the appropriate application and selection of numerical models for river engineering investigations are presented with a minimal amount of theory. Chapters review multidimensional flow analysis, unsteady flow, steady flow-water surface profiles, and water surface profiles with movable boundaries.
