DESCRIPTION:
A useful book with lots of typographical errors Kit Burton This book pertains to the solution of ordinary differential equations as applied to the solution of one-dimensional open channel flow problems. It is lacks a thorough treatment of the theoretical basis of the equations and therefore the reader should refer to the excellent texts by Chow and Henderson. Relatively few diagrams are used to help understand the physical concepts where again the other more fundamental texts are better. It is a very large book - 1,227 pages in all, and it addresses details and complexities of problems such as divided flows
The book includes a CD that contains a program that solves all types of simple open channel flow problems, the source programs described in the text, the executable elements of these programs, the TK-Solver and MathCad programs, and the equivalent MATLAB® scripts and functions.The book provides applied numerical methods in an appendix and also incorporates them as an integral component of the methodology in setting up and solving the governing equations. Thus not only is the book useful for graduate students, but it also provides professional engineers the expertise and knowledge to design well performing and economical channel systems.. Packed with examples, the book includes problems at the end of each chapter that give readers experience in applying the principles and often expand upon the methodologies use in the text. A comprehensive treatment of open channel flow, Open Channel Flow: Numerical Methods and Comp
