Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering

This classic text, now in its sixth edition, combines thorough coverage of the basic principles of civil engineering hydraulics with a wide-ranging treatment of practical, real-world applications.

Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering

is carefully structured into two parts to deal with principles before moving on to more advanced topics. The first part focuses on fundamentals, including hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, pipe and open channel flow, wave theory, physical modelling, hydrology and sediment transport. The second part illustrates the engineering applications of these fundamental principles to pipeline system design, hydraulic structures, river and coastal engineering, including up-to-date environmental implications and a chapter on computational modelling, illustrating the application of computational simulation techniques to modern design, in a variety of contexts.

New material and additional problems for solutions have been added to the chapters on hydrostatics, pipeflow, and dimensional analysis. In the hydrology, river and coastal engineering chapters, uncertainty estimation and its application to design is clearly described. The recommendations regarding climate change predictions, impacts and adaptation measures have been updated, as has the application of computational simulation techniques to river flood modelling.
