Hydraulic Engineering / Edition 2

by John A. Roberson, John J. Cassidy, M. Hanif Chaudhry

Overview

The book includes a section on cavitation in hydraulic structures and a concise introduction to the physics of cavitation and application to hydraulic structures. It applies the laws of similitude to the use of physical models to improve hydraulic design and computer programs for the numerical solution of unsteady flow in closed and open channels.
