41. Practical Hydraulics

    2nd Edition

    By Melvyn Kay

    Hydraulics has a reputation for being a complex, even intimidating, discipline. Put simply, hydraulics is the study of how water and similar fluids behave and can be harnessed for practical use. It is one of the fundamental scientific and engineering subjects and many professions demand a working...

42. Fundamentals of Fluvial Geomorphology

    By Ro Charlton, Ro Charlton

    Rivers are significant geomorphological agents, they show an amazing diversity of form and behaviour and transfer water and sediment from the land surface to the oceans. This book examines how river systems respond to environmental change and why this understanding is needed for successful river...

43. Flow Adaptive Schemes

    By Vendrana Kutija

    A study in the development of flow adaptive numerical schemes in computational hydraulics directed to enhancing modelling capabilities. Examples covered include additional flow resistance due to flexible vegetation; one-dimensional supercritical flow; and flow in networks of channels....

44. Dam Break Modelling, Risk Assessment and Uncertainty Analysis for Flood Mitigation

    IHE-PhD Thesis, Unesco-IHE, Delft, The Netherlands

    By Migena Zagonjolli

    More than 800,000 dams and thousands of kilometers of dikes have been constructed around the world. These structures are often designed based on a statistical analysis of the discharge distribution in rivers. However, the history of construction of dams and dikes coexists with the history of...

47. River, Coastal and Estuarine Morphodynamics: RCEM 2007, Two Volume Set

    Proceedings of the 5th IAHR Symposium on River, Coastal and Estuarine Morphodynamics, Enschede, NL, 17-21 September 2007

    Edited by C. Marjolein Dohmen-Janssen, Suzanne J.M.H. Hulscher

    Around the world, many people live, work and recreate in river, estuarine and coastal areas, systems which are also important wildlife habitats. It is imperative to understand the physics of such systems. A key element here is morphodynamics: the mutual interaction and adjustment of landform...

49. Internal Erosion of Dams and Their Foundations

    Selected and Reviewed Papers from the Workshop on Internal Erosion and Piping of Dams and their Foundations, Aussois, France, 25–27 April 2005

    Edited by Robin Fell, Jean-Jacques Fry

    Internal erosion and piping in embankments and their foundations is the main cause of failures and accidents to embankment dams. For new dams, the potential for internal erosion and piping can be controlled by good design and construction of the core of the dam and provision of filters to intercept...

50. A New Approach to Sediment Transport in the Design and Operation of Irrigation Canals

    UNESCO-IHE Lecture Note Series

    By Herman Depeweg, Néstor Méndez V

    Series: UNESCO-IHE Delft Lecture Note Series

    The transport of sediment greatly influences the sustainability of an irrigation system. Erosion and deposition not only increase maintenance costs, but may result in an inequitable and inadequate distribution of irrigation water. Understanding the behaviour and transport of sediment allows...
