Editorial Reviews

New edition of a text presenting theory and application information for anyone seeking practical answers for everyday problems in hydraulics. Topics are presented as they appear in practice, not as theoretical concepts. Derivations are included only if their understanding is necessary for the proper use of their results, and are kept at a level that does not require calculus. Chapters include physical properties of water; fluid mechanics; hydraulic data gathering; flow in pipes; hydraulic machinery; seepage; elements of hydrology; open channel flow; flow through hydraulic structures; and coastal hydraulics.
