The book contains the full range of subjects on open channel flows, including mixing and dispersion, Saint-Venant equations method of characteristics and interactions between flowing water and its surrondings (air entrainment, sediment transport). Following the approach of Hubert Chanson's highly successful undergraduate textbook Hydraulics of Open Channel Flow, the reader is guided step-by-step from the basic principles to more advanced practical applications. Each section of the book contains many revision exercises, problems and assignments to help the reader test their learning in practical situations. Complete text on river and estuarine systems in a single volume Step-by-step guide to practical applications Many worked examples and exercises 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aChannels (Hydraulic engineering) 650 0$aEnvironmental hydraulics 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 776 1 $cOriginal$z0750661658$z9780750661652$w(OCoLC)56450615 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750661652$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 907 $a.b13650397$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003218509707536 996 $aEnvironmental hydraulics of open channel flow$92886336 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$genk$h0$i0
