Computational Hydraulics and Hydrology
Author: Nicolas G. Adrien
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780849318900
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
Computational hydraulics and hydrologic modeling are rapidly developing fields with a wide range of applications in areas ranging from wastewater disposal and stormwater management to civil and environmental engineering. These fields are full of promise, but the abundance of literature that now exists contains many new terms that are not always defined. Computational Hydraulics and Hydrology: An Illustrated Dictionary defines more that 4,000 basic terms and phrases related to water conveyance with emphasis on computational hydraulics and hydrologic modeling. Compiled by Nicolas G. Adrien, a noted consulting engineer with three decades of experience, this dictionary includes detailed references to actual modeling studies, nearly 100 illustrations, 150 equations and formulas, and many notations. It also includes a chapter of application examples and another containing more than 6,000 related terms with a list of resources where interested readers can find additional definitions. Other dictionaries and glossaries related to these areas tend to be either dated or much narrower in scope. This dictionary offers broad, practice-based coverage of terms culled directly from the latest texts, references, and actual engineering reports. Computational Hydraulics and Hydrology: An Illustrated Dictionary stands alone in providing ready access to the vocabulary of these subjects.

Elsevier's dictionary of water and hydraulic engineering, in five languages
Author: J. D. van der Tuin
Publisher: Elsevier Publishing Company
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : de
Pages : 586
Book Description
As its title suggests, this dictionary deals with water: water in relation to engineering projects designed to utilize it, to control it, or to defend us against it; water as a basic element of our environment, and water as the subject of a variety of physical phenomena. Accordingly, the coverage is both comprehensive and wide, encompassing the following:Water: physical properties and phenomena; hydraulics, hydrodynamics and hydrostatics; waves and tides; hydrology, fluvial hydraulics and groundwater flow; geomorphology and sediment transport; selected terms on hydrography and limnology.Hydraulic Engineering: aspects of design, construction, operation and maintenance; river engineering, dams and reservoirs; coastal engineering and marine technology; flood control, dikes and barriers; waterways, locks and weirs, canals; hydraulic aspects of tunnels and bridges; harbours, breakwaters and navigation facilities; dredging and bed protection; pumps, turbines and water power; circuits, pipelines and appurtenances.Water Management: water supply, irrigation and agricultural engineering; water quality, waste-water and cooling-water; drainage and groundwater works. Experimental Aspects: scale modelling and testing methods; measuring methods and instruments, hydrometry.
