Erosion and sedimentation

Abstract

This book is aimed at graduates and those with a basic knowledge of fluid mechanics and partial differential equations. It consists of 12 chapters that examine the theory and application of selected methods. Each chapter summarises fundamental principles, gives the derivation of relevant equations, quotes examples and case histories, then sets a series of appropriate problems and exercises. Most of these problems can be solved with algebraic equations, others require the use of a computer. Chapters cover areas such as physical properites, dimensional analysis, flow mechanics, particle motion, bedforms, load and reservoir sedimentation. -S.E.Long
