Water. Except for air, it is the most important ingredient to all
life on Earth. It surrounds us every day. We are literally bathed
in it, we cook our food with it, and we need a steady stream of it
in our bodies every single day just to survive. But water, and the
study of it, is one of the most important and unheralded branches
of engineering, affecting every other aspect of engineering in
almost every industry. We harness its power for energy, we inject
massive blasts of it into the earth to extract oil, gas, and
minerals, and we use it in nearly every single industrial
application, including food processing, refining, manufacturing,
and waste disposal, just to name a few. Hyraulic modeling is,
essentially, the understanding and prediction of fluid flow and its
applications in industrial, municipal, and environmental settings,
whether in a creekbed, locked in the pores of rocks deep in the
earth, or in the ocean. Mathematical models, which started out with
mechanical pencils and drafting tables originally, have been
increasingly relied upon over the last few decades, due to the
invention, growth, and refinement of computers. Physical modeling,
however, is still practiced in laboratories, and it is the
intersection of physical and mathematical modeling of fluid flow
that is most successful in creating models that are safer, less
costly, and are better for the environment. Hydraulic Modeling
introduces and explores this incredibly important science, from the
most basic tenets to valuable real-world applications that are used
in industry today. It is the only volume on the market to offer a
thorough coverage of the subject without adding lots of useless
fluff or inapplicable appendices. It is a must-have for any
engineer, scientist, or student working with hydraulic modeling, as
a daily reference or a textbook.
