Hydraulic Engineering-------jaico

This book has been purposefully suited for students of civil engineering and computational hydraulics at the graduate and undergraduate levels as well as professionals in the field of basic fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering, i.e. for the civil engineers and builders. However, this book can also be chosen by all those who would like to independently pursue the area of computational hydraulics.

The topics have been presented clearly and completely, enough to develop an in-depth understanding. To enhance the learning and grasping process liberal use of photos, computer programs, line drawings and examples have been made. While the basic fluid mechanics topics have been retained to provide continuity in the development of certain areas, such as open channel flow and flow in closed conduits, the reader will be able to use it in modern engineering practice with emphasis on fundamental principles and presentation of updated analytical procedures for solving problems.

This book is based on notes successfully used over several years in the study course of hydraulic engineering at Washington State University. The material has been tested with feedback from experienced professionals of this field.
