Suitable for a graduate-level open channel flow or hydraulics course, this comprehensive book starts with basic principles and gradually advances to complete problems involving systems of channels that require the simultaneous solutions of systems of nonlinear equations. The text offers numerous practical examples and end-of-chapter homework problems that expand upon the methodologies presented and encourage readers to apply the related principles in practice. The accompanying CD-ROM provides solutions and programs with qualifying course adoption.
