Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering PDF
This classic text is carefully structured into two parts to address principles before moving on to more advanced topics. The first part focuses on fundamentals, including hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, pipe and open channel flow, wave theory, physical modeling, hydrology, and sediment transport. The second part illustrates the engineering applications of these fundamental principles to pipeline system design; hydraulic structures; and river, canal, and coastal engineering―including up-to-date environmental implications. A chapter on computational hydraulics demonstrates the application of computational simulation techniques to modern design in a variety of contexts. Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering

Editorial Reviews
Review – Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering PDF
“This book is an excellent standalone reference for education in the field of hydraulics and fundamentals of fluid mechanics. The book gives theoretical considerations and encourages students to learn by inspiring them with insights into the real world of engineering. The book is also useful for practical engineers, providing a good overview of realistic hydraulic engineering problems and their solutions.”
―Miroslav Marence, Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers: Water Management
“Outstanding coverage of practical engineering applications that is accessible to students.”
―John W Davies, Coventry University, UK
Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering PDF
“I have found this book to be an ideal standalone reference to the teaching of hydraulics and basic fluid mechanics, as part of engineering undergraduate degree schemes. It is useful, also, in graduate study and applications. “Part II” provides a good overview of hydraulic engineering applications, which does a great job in motivating students to learn and inspiring them with insights of the engineering world.”
