The state-of-the-art in fluvial hydrodynamics can be examined only
through a careful exploration of the theoretical development and
applied engineering technology. The book is primarily focused,
since most up-to-date research findings in the field are presented,
on the research aspects that involve a comprehensive knowledge of
sediment dynamics in turbulent flows. It begins with the
fundamentals of hydrodynamics and particle motion followed by
turbulence characteristics related to sediment motion. Then, the
sediment dynamics is analysed from a classical perspective by
applying the mean bed shear approach and additionally incorporating
a statistical description for the role of turbulence. The work
finally examines the local scour problems at hydraulic structures
and scale models. It is intended to design as a course textbook in
graduate / research level and a guide for the field engineers as
well, keeping up with modern technological developments. Therefore,
as a simple prerequisite, the background of the readers should have
a basic knowledge in hydraulics in undergraduate level and an
understanding of fundamentals of calculus.
