Opis

This 2^nd Edition of Practical Channel Hydraulics provides further background to the Conveyance Estimation System (CES) and the Shiono and Knight Method (SKM) for estimating stage-discharge relationships. Worked examples for a range of channel types and discharges, ranging from laboratory flumes to river sites in the UK, France, China, New Zealand and Ecuador are considered (Q = 2.0 ls^-1 to 23,000 m³s^-1). These illustrate their capabilities for evaluating stage-discharge relationships, as in ISO 18320, the distribution of boundary shear stresses and drag forces on trees. This book is intended for post-graduate students, practising engineers and hydrologists engaged in flood risk management.
