"This book delves into the increasing role of computers, particularly personal computers, in solving hydraulic problems across various engineering disciplines, with a specific focus on civil engineering's hydraulics and water resources aspects. By leveraging Microsoft Excel, readers can easily grasp hydraulic principles and apply them to numerous problems without the need for complex software codes. The content has been refined through years of teaching Computational Hydraulics at the master's level and based on the theses of numerous doctoral and graduate students. It is designed for undergraduate and graduate students who have completed prerequisite courses in fluid mechanics, hydraulics, and differential equations. The book can be studied over two semesters and is also valuable for engineers seeking insights into this subject. Throughout the book, theoretical concepts are reinforced with a wealth of examples solved at the end of each chapter. These examples comprehensively address practical complexities, enhancing the reader's understanding. Moreover, the book covers not only "computer hydraulics" but also touches on "computational fluid dynamics" to provide a broader perspective on the subject, incorporating examples from environmental and structural engineering. The book introduces the finite differences method, a valuable tool for solving common partial differential equations used in fluid mechanics and hydraulics. It also presents alternative solution methods for three types of partial differential equations: elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic, supplemented with real-world applications and thorough solutions. Recommended primarily for third and fourth-year undergraduate and graduate students, the book caters to those interested in numerical modeling, including software developers working on finite difference numerical methods. In summary, the book is a comprehensive resource for those in the fields of civil and environmental engineering, offering practical problem-solving skills for real-world applications and serving as a guide for software developers creating programs related to finite difference numerical methods"--

Computational Hydraulics introduces the concept of modeling and the contribution of numerical methods and numerical analysis to modeling. It provides a concise and comprehensive description of the basic hydraulic principles, and the problems addressed by these principles in the aquatic environment. Flow equations, numerical and analytical solutions are included. The necessary steps for building and applying numerical methods in hydraulics comprise the core of the book and this is followed by a report of different example applications of computational hydraulics: river training effects on flood propagation, water quality modelling of lakes and coastal applications. The theory and exercises included in the book promote learning of concepts within academic environments. Sample codes are made available online for purchasers of the book. Computational Hydraulics is intended for under-graduate and graduate students, researchers, members of governmental and non-governmental agencies and professionals involved in management of the water related problems.

Computational Hydraulics provides an introduction to computational techniques for hydraulic and fluid flow engineers. It combines classical hydraulics with new methods such as finite elements and boundary elements, which are both presented in a matrix formulation. The most interesting feature of the book is the integrated treatment given to the theoretical and computing aspects of numerical methods. The format presents a series of complete computer programs, for linear and non-linear pipe network analysis, depth flow computations, and finite and boundary elements for Laplace equations. The programs, which are written in standard FORTRAN, are self-contained and easy to implement in any computer. The book is the product of several years' experience in teaching and research at undergraduate and post-graduate level and can be used to offer a self-contained course on Computational Hydraulics for final year or M.Sc. Engineering students. The authors hope that this book will make practicing hydraulic engineers more aware of modern computer techniques and be useful in teaching them to the next generation.

Modelling forms a vital part of all engineering design, yet many hydraulic engineers are not fully aware of the assumptions they make. These assumptions can have important consequences when choosing the best model to inform design decisions. Considering the advantages and limitations of both physical and mathematical methods, this book will help you identify the most appropriate form of analysis for the hydraulic engineering application in question. All models require the knowledge of their background, good data and careful interpretation and so this book also provides guidance on the range of accuracy to be expected of the model simulations and how they should be related to the prototype. Applications to models include: open channel systems closed conduit flows storm drainage systems estuaries coastal and nearshore structures hydraulic structures. This an invaluable guide for students and professionals.

Now in its fifth edition, Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering combines thorough coverage of the basic principles of civil engineering hydraulics with wide-ranging treatment of practical, real-world applications. This classic text is carefully structured into two parts to address 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 modeling, hydrology, and sediment transport. The second part illustrates the engineering applications of these fundamental principles to pipeline system design; hydraulic structures; and river, canal, and coastal engineering—including up-to-date environmental implications. A chapter on computational hydraulics demonstrates the application of computational simulation techniques to modern design in a variety of contexts. What’s New in This Edition Substantive revisions of the chapters on hydraulic machines, flood hydrology, and computational modeling New material added to the chapters on hydrostatics, principles of fluid flow, behavior of real fluids, open channel flow, pressure surge in pipelines, wave theory, sediment transport, river engineering, and coastal engineering The latest recommendations on climate change predictions, impacts, and adaptation measures Updated references Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Fifth Edition is an essential resource for students and practitioners of civil, environmental, and public health engineering and associated disciplines.
