About this Book:
Open-Channel Hydraulics, originally
published in 1959, deals with the design for flow in open channels and their
related structures. Covering both theory and practice, it attempts to bridge
the gap that generally exists between the two. Theory is introduced first and
is then applied to design problems. In many cases the application of theory is
illustrated with practical examples. Theory is frequently simplified by
adopting theoretically less rigorous treatments with sound concepts, by
avoiding use of advanced mathematical manipulations, or by replacing such
manipulations with practical numerical procedures. To facilitate understanding
of the subject matter, the treatment is mostly based on the condition of one-
or two-dimensional flow. The book deals mainly with American practice but also
includes related information from many countries throughout the world. Material
is divided into five main sections for an orderly and logical treatment of the
subject: Basic Principles. Uniform Flow, Varied Flow, Rapidly Varied Flow, and
Unsteady Flow. There are 67 illustrative examples, 282 illustrations, 319
problems, and 810 references. This classic textbook was the first English-language
book on the subject in two decades. Open-Channel Hydraulics is a valuable text
for students of engineering mechanics. hydraulics. civil. agricultural.
sanitary. and mechanical engineering, and a helpful compendium for practicing
engineers. Dr. Ven Te Chow was a Professor of Hydraulic Engineering and led the
hydraulic engineering research and teaching programs at the University of
Illinois. Through many years of experience as a teacher, engineer, researcher,
writer. lecturer, and consultant, he became an internationally recognized
leader in the fields of hydraulics, hydrology and hydraulic engineering. Dr.
Ven Te Chow authored two technical books and more than 60 articles and papers
in scientific an engineering magazines and journals. He was a member of lAHR,
ASCE, AGU, AAAS, SEE, and Sigma Xi, and had been Chairman of the American
Geophysical Union's Permanent Research Committee on Runoff.
