Hydraulics and Hydraulic Design - Part I Hydraulics

Descriptions

This book deals with the basic hydraulic principles of design of civil engineering structures. It is tailored to serve as a core text for BTech and MTech students of environmental engineering, agricultural engineering, water resources engineering, hydraulics engineering, and civil engineering.

Part I Hydraulics of the book comprises 8 chapters

· Properties of fluids, fluid statics and fluid dynamics

· Close conduit flow

· Free surface open-channel flow

· Sediment transport

· Dimensional analysis and hydraulic modelling

· Pumps and turbines

· Groundwater flow

· Flow measurement

A thorough knowledge of the basic hydraulic principles covered in these chapters is essential in understanding the elements of hydraulic design of various structures detailed in Part II Hydraulic Design of the book.
