RIVER MORPHOLOGY synthesizes the contributions made by geologists, geomorphologists, geographers, hydraulic engineers and hydrologists and presents a coherent text which takes a balanced view about formation on alluvial rivers and their hydraulics, and analysis of their response to natural and man-made disturbances. The text covers discussion about history of fluvial hydraulics and geomorphology, drainage basin characteristics, soil erosion, fluvial morphology, ...
This is an outcome of authors over thirty years of teaching Fluid Mechanics to undergraduate and postgraduate students. The book is written with the purpose that, through this book, student should appreciate the strength and limitations of the theory, and also its potential for application in solving a variety of engineering problems of practical importance. It makes available to the students, appearing for diploma and undergraduate courses in Civil, Chemical and ...
This book presents a detailed exposition of the various dimensions of turbulent flow. The book covers laminar flow, transition from laminar to turbulent flow, the nature of turbulence, equations of motion, statistical theory of turbulence, turbulence models, measurement of turbulence, and descriptions of wall turbulence shear flows, free surface flows, and free turbulence shear flows.
This book presents a detailed exposition of the various dimensions of turbulent flow. In ten chapters the book covers laminar flow, transition from laminar to turbulent flow, the nature of turbulence, equations of motion, statistical theory of turbulence, turbulence models, measurement of turbulence, and descriptions of wall turbulence shear flow, free surface flow, and free turbulence shear flows. The book would be extremely useful for practicing engineers, ...
