DESCRIPTION


Open Channel Hydraulics covers the fundamental concepts of open channel hydraulics and mixing and dispersion in open channels. It also provides an introduction for solving gradually varied steady and unsteady flow problems using industry standard models such as HEC-RAS. The book also discusses the design of stable channels from the viewpoints of both the geoscience and engineering communities. The book is not intended to be a comprehensive treatment of the subject as the first edition was; rather it is intended to be a text for upper division and graduate courses on the subject; and lead to additional references that treat specialized topics. At the end of each chapter are a series of problems for students to solve.

TABLE OF CONTENTS


Chapter 1 explains the types of flow encountered in open channels are classified with respect to time, space, viscosity, density, and gravity.

Chapter 2 discusses the application of the law of conservation of energy to open-channel flows.

Chapter 3 considers the application of the law of conservation of momentum to open-channel flow.

Chapter 4 defines uniform flow and develops the Chezy and Manning equations for uniform flow. Both theoretical and applied methods of estimating the resistance coefficients used in these equations are then discussed.

Chapter 5 primarily emphases techniques of computing the normal depth of flow in open channels.

 

 

Chapter 6 considers the theory and analysis of gradually and spatially varied flow.

Chapter 7, the design of lined, unlined, and grass-lined channels is considered, and design procedures for each type of channel are discussed and demonstrated.

Chapter 8 discusses the transport processes known as turbulent diffusion and dispersion.

Chapter 9 treats the subject of gradually varied unsteady flow.

Chapter 10 discusses the design, construction, and use of physical models to examine open-channel flow phenomena.
