Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering
Autor Andrew Chadwick, John Morfett, Martin Borthwicken Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 feb 2013
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.
What’s New in This Edition
- Substantive revisions of the chapters on hydraulic machines, flood hydrology, and computational modeling
- New material added to the chapters on hydrostatics, principles of fluid flow, behavior of real fluids, open channel flow, pressure surge in pipelines, wave theory, sediment transport, river engineering, and coastal engineering
- The latest recommendations on climate change predictions, impacts, and adaptation measures
- Updated references

Recenzii
"Outstanding coverage of practical engineering applications that is accessible to students."
—John W Davies, Coventry University, UK
"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."
—Dr William Bonino Rauen, Universidade Positivo, Brazil
