Synopsis
This book provides a comprehensive discussion of hydraulic applications to a range of topical environmental issues. Introducing the field of environmental hydraulics, it presents a systematic treatment on stratified flows, water quality hydraulics, waste water hydraulics, and ecohydrodynamics. The chapters are written by leading scientists from around the world, who have long been at the forefront of research in hydraulics as applied to environment and ecology. The depth of coverage is more detailed than can be found in any other published book.
Audience: Faculty members, graduate students, and researchers engaged in environmental modeling. Civil, environmental, hydraulic, and water engineers engaged in environmental planning and management will find this book to be of considerable value.
Booknews
Introduces scholars, graduate students, researchers, and engineers engaged in environmental planning and management to the hydraulic analysis of environmental issues that are important for protecting, restoring, and managing environmental quality, especially as part of designing and constructing a water- resources project. Discusses jets and plumes, sea outfalls, diffusion and dispersion, interactions between fluid mud and water waves, heat and chemical transport, modeling the quality of river water, estuarine hydraulics, and eco-hydrodynamics.
