Open Channel Hydraulics is intended for advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students in the general fields of water resources and environmental engineering. It offers a focused presentation of some of the most common problems encountered by practicing engineers with the inclusion of recent research advances and personal computer applications. In addition, emphasis is placed on the application of basic principles of fluid mechanics to the formulation of open channel flow problems so that the assumption and limitation of existing numerical models are made clear.
I've read worse much worse. For a textbook, it's not half-bad. This was the textbook for my Surface Water Dynamics class (a post-graduate civil engineering class).The course used this book to cover the following:- Using Specific Energy and Momentum to solve steady state flow problems- Solving uniform flow problems (including Manning's and other methods)- Solving gradually varied flow problems- Designing and evaluating hydraulic structures- Solving unsteady flow problems using - Numerical methods, - Flood routing, - HEC-RASIt briefly discusses sediment transport, but my class didn't spend much time on that.Hydrology. Chaz said Utterly terrible. Some people have said that you need a fluid mechanics background before reading this text. Well I have a fluid mechanics background and it doesn't make much difference. Right up front, in Chapter 1, he starts randomly referring to obscure (if you haven't already studied open channels) authors, equations, and concepts without the slightest introduction or explanation.In general it is badly written, disorganized, and in serious need of an editor. Take your business elsewhere.. "Looks perfect. Same book as my friend" according to Amazon Customer. Looks perfect. Same book as my friend, only I paid like $200 less, would recommend!!!
