This comprehensive text on the fundamentals of modeling flow and
sediment transport in rivers treats both the physical principles
and numerical methods for various degrees of complexity. Included
are 1-D, 2-D (both depth- and width-averaged) and 3-D models, as
well as the integration and coupling of these models. The volume
includes a broad selection of numerical methods for open-channel
flows, such as the SIMPLE copyright] algorithms on staggered and
non-staggered grids, the projection method, and the stream function
and vorticity method. The state-of-the-art in sediment transport
modeling approaches is described, such as non-equilibrium transport
models, non-uniform total-load transport models, and semi-coupled
and coupled procedures for flow and sediment calculations. Sediment
transport theory is discussed and many newly-developed, non-uniform
sediment transport formulae are presented.The many worked examples
illustrate various conditions, such as: reservoir sedimentation;
channel erosion due to dam construction; channel widening and
meandering; local scour around in-stream hydraulic structures;
vegetation effects on channel morphodynamic processes; cohesive
sediment transport; dam-break fluvial processes; and contaminant
transport. This book is recommended as a reference guide for river
and hydraulic scientists and engineers and as a course text for
teaching sediment transport modeling, computational free-surface
flow, and computational river dynamics to senior undergraduate and
graduate students in civil engineering. It will also serve
professionals in environmental, agricultural, and geological
engineering.
