Advances in Hydraulic Engineering (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781682858066)

A sub-discipline of civil engineering that is concerned with the flow and conveyance of fluids like water and sewage is known as hydraulic engineering. The force driving the movement of these fluids is the force of gravity. The principles of physical modeling, open channel hydraulics, mechanics of sediment transportation, fluid mechanics, hydrology, etc. are integral to the field of hydraulic engineering. This area of study is vital to the designing of dams, canals, bridges, channels and levees. It is also useful in the construction of hydraulic structures for sewage collection networks, water distribution networks, storm water management, sediment transport, etc. Developing strategies for the control, storage, transport, collection, regulation and use of water is an important dimension of hydraulic engineering. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to hydraulic engineering. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of hydraulic engineering.
