Non-Hydrostatic Free Surface Flows [Paperback]

This book provides essential information on the higher mathematical level of approximation over the gradually varied flow theory, also referred to as the Boussinesq-type theory. In this context, it presents higher order flow equations, together with their applications in a broad range of pertinent engineering and environmental problems, including open channel, groundwater, and granular material flows.1. Introduction.- 2. Vertically integrated non-hydrostatic free surface flow equations.- 3. Inviscid channel flows.- 4. Seepage flows.- 5. Viscous channel flows.- 6. Granular flows.- 7. Concluding remarks.- Appendices.This is the first free surface hydraulics book dedicated to Boussinesqs theory since Boussinesqs 1877 book. The book contains a clear presentation of basic theoretical aspects. It is carefully illustrated and edited. & Non-hydrostatic free surface flows is a valuable addition to the literature, containing information that will be of great interest for students, researchers and professors working in open channel hydraulics.
