This book provides a unifying framework for understanding and computing unsteady flow and transport in shallow one-dimensional open-water systems.

Recenzje

'The most interesting aspect of this book is the detailed descriptions of the governing equations and the solutions from the use of complex variables and the method of characteristics. The book provides a useful presentation of classical methods to solve the equations for the propagation of waves in rivers and estuaries. … A few Python programs are made available, and a range of online resources, including problem sets and computer codes, are also provided … In summary, Unsteady Flow in Open Channels is truly an excellent addition to the library. It provides a thorough mathematical treatment of wave propagation for a broad range of engineering problems. It is highly instructive and well-presented. The book is affordable to everyone, and its handy format makes it a most desirable classroom companion. It will be treasured by those who want to understand the main concepts of unsteady flow with a solid level of technical detail.' Pierre Julien, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
