(see also website of Publisher: www.aquapublications.nl)
HYDRODYNAMICS (FLOW AND WAVES)
1990: Principles of Fluid Flow and Surface Waves
in Rivers, Estuaries, Seas and Oceans (400 pages)
2011: Principles of Fluid Flow and Surface Waves
in Rivers, Estuaries, Seas and Oceans (update, 900 pages)
This book is the most extensive book on flow and waves in open waters and
reflects 40 years of experience in hydraulics.
River and tidal flow are described in great detail. A simple analytical solution
of tidal flow in funnel-type estuaries is given.
Various simple modelling tools are included to compute river and tidal flow.
