Fluvial Hydrodynamics : Hydrodynamic and Sediment Transport Phenomena Paperback / softback
by Subhasish Dey
Part of the GeoPlanet: Earth and Planetary Sciences series
Paperback / softback
Description
The state-of-the-art in fluvial hydrodynamics can be examined only through a careful exploration of the theoretical development and applied engineering technology.
The book is primarily focused, since most up-to-date research findings in the field are presented, on the research aspects that involve a comprehensive knowledge of sediment dynamics in turbulent flows.
It begins with the fundamentals of hydrodynamics and particle motion followed by turbulence characteristics related to sediment motion.
Then, the sediment dynamics is analysed from a classical perspective by applying the mean bed shear approach and additionally incorporating a statistical description for the role of turbulence.
The work finally examines the local scour problems at hydraulic structures and scale models.
It is intended to design as a course textbook in graduate / research level and a guide for the field engineers as well, keeping up with modern technological developments.
Therefore, as a simple prerequisite, the background of the readers should have a basic knowledge in hydraulics in undergraduate level and an understanding of fundamentals of calculus.
