A Users Guide to Hydraulic Modelling and Experimentation
provides a systematic, comprehensive summary of the progress made
through HYDRALAB III . The book combines the expertise of many of
the leading hydraulic experimentalists in Europe and identifies
current best practice for carrying out state-of-the-art, modern
laboratory investigations. In addition it gives an inventory and
reviews recent advances in instrumentation and equipment that drive
present and new developments in the subject. The Guide concentrates
on four core areas ? waves, breakwaters, sediments and the
relatively-new (but rapidly-developing) cross-disciplinary area of
hydrodynamics/ecology. Progress made through the ?CoMIBBS?
component of HYDRALAB III provides the material for a chapter
focussed on guidance, principles and practice for composite
modelling. There is detailed consideration of scaling and the
degree of relevance of laboratory/physical modelling approaches for
specific contexts included in each of the individual chapters. The
Guide includes outputs from the workshops and several of the
innovative transnational access projects that have been supported
within HYDRALAB III, as well as the focussed joint research
activities SANDS and CoMIBBS. Its primary purpose is to serve as a
shared resource to disseminate the outstanding advances achieved
within HYDRALAB III but, even more than this, it is a tribute to
the human and institutional collaborations that led to and
sustained the research advances, the human relationships that were
strengthened and initiated through joint participation in the
Programme, and the training opportunities that participation
provided to the many young researchers engaged in the projects.
