Air Entrainment in Free-surface Flow: IAHR Hydraulic Structures Design Manuals 4

ISBN: 9789061919940

I.R. Wood

This monograph is aimed at the practising hydraulic engineer. Work on it commenced at Professor Naudascher's instigation in 1982. Over the next six years all or some of the authors discussed progress at IAHR sponsored conferences at Esslingen, Melbourne, Lausanne and Beijing. With the authors scattered throughout the world, and all with other responsibilities, progress was bound to be slow. Completion was further delayed by the great increase in published technical literature in this area over the period 1982-1988. This literature continues to expand and with it our understanding of the air water flow phenomena. The monograph must therefore be seen as the authors' views on the state

Scouring: Hydraulic Structures Design Manual Series, Vol. 2

ISBN: 9789061919834

H.N.C. Breusers, A.J. Raudkivi

Information and technical data concerning scouring/erosion caused by water fl in rivers and streams. More specifically, how certain structures exaggerate this natural process by restricting water flow, causing constriction and loc scour. Material presented is from both field studies and laboratories

Hydrodynamic Forces: IAHR Hydraulic Structures Design Manuals 3

ISBN: 9789061919933

Eduard Naudascher

Produced for the International Association for Hydraulic Research, this monograph covers fluctuating and mean hydrodynamic forces, hydrodynamic forces on high-head gates, and hydrodynamic forces on low-head gates i.e. only the forces induced by flow incident or past the structure.
