The hydraulic jump is the sudden transition from a high-velocity open channel flow regime to
a subcritical flow motion. The flow properties may be solved using continuity and momentum …

Since the publication of its first edition in 1999,'The Hydraulics of Open Channel Flow'has
been praised by professionals, academics, students and researchers alike as the most …

This book develops an analysis of the air entrainment processes in free-surface flows. These
flows are investigated as homogeneous mixtures with variable density. Several types of air …

Stepped channel design has been in use for more than 3,500 years. Recent advances in
technology have triggered a regained interest in stepped design, although much expertise …

Supercritical‐flow phenomena are fairly common in modern sedimentary environments, yet
their recognition and analysis remain difficult in the stratigraphic record. This fact is …

Buoyant jets have been a topic of interest due to their presence in various natural and
industrial phenomena, as well as in our daily lives. Covering extensive literature, our focus …

The first of its kind, this book is an in-depth history of hydrodynamics from its eighteenth-
century foundations to its first major successes in twentieth-century hydraulics and …

Environmental Hydraulics is a new text for students and professionals studying advanced
topics in river and estuarine systems. The book contains the full range of subjects on open …

A new hypothesis predicts that in mobile‐bed river channels, interactions between the
channel hydraulics and bed configuration prevent the Froude number (Fr) from exceeding 1 …
