Computational Modelling in Hydraulic and Coastal Engineering

<p></p><p><strong><em>Combines More Than 40 Years of Expert Experience</em></strong></p><p></p><p>Computational modelling and simulation methods have a wide range of applications in hydraulic and coastal engineering. <strong>Computational Modelling in Hydraulic and Coastal Engineering</strong> provides an introductory but comprehensive coverage of these methods. It emphasizes the use of the finite differences method with applications in reservoir management closed-conduit hydraulics free-surface channel and coastal domain flows surface gravity waves groundwater movement and pollutant and sediment transport processes. </p><p></p><p> It focuses on applications rather than lengthy theories or derivations of complex formulas and is supported by a wealth of hands-on numerical examples and computer codes written in MATLAB but available also in BASIC. PowerPoint presentations and learning assignment projects/quizzes along with learning assessment rubrics are included.</p><p></p><p>A comprehensive study highlighting the infinite differences method this book: </p><p></p><ul> <br><br><p></p> <li>Covers the fundamentals of flow in pressurized conduits</li> <br><br><li>Contains solutions for the classical Hardy Cross pipe network problem</li> <br><br><li>Designates the mathematical description of groundwater flow in confined and unconfined aquifers</li> <br><br><li>Provides numerical examples for one- and two-dimensional applications including saltwater intrusion</li> <br><br><li>Presents examples of transport of pollutants sediment and air bubbles using Eulerian and Lagrangian solution methodologies</li> <br><br><li>Includes information on weighted residuals the finite elements method and the boundary integral method</li> <br><br> </ul><p></p><p><strong>Computational Modelling in Hydraulic and Coastal Engineering</strong> suits senior-level undergraduates and graduate students as well as practitioners such as coastal and maritime engineers environmental engineers civil engineers computer modellers and hydro-geologis</p>
