Interdisciplinary and Advanced Topics in Science and Engineering, Volume 3: Separation of Flow presents the problem of the separation of fluid flow. This book provides information covering the fields of basic physical processes, analyses, and experiments concerning flow separation. Organized...

Besides giving an historical introduction to embankment dams the book describes the need for instrumentation, planning procurement and installation practices of instruments. The significance of visual inspection and techniques, of monitoring various parameters, seepage, pore pressure, surface and...

   In 1963-65, S.I. Fishgal, among novelties described later in his 600 patent applications and publications, pioneered in using hydro-impacts for numerous technological processes. Back then the only known uses were hydraulic rams.      The author’s other engineering books...

Energy dissipators are an important element of hydraulic structures as transition between the highly explosive high velocity flow and the sensitive tailwater. This volume examines energy dissipators mainly in connection with dam structures and provides a review of design methods. It includes topics...

In 2007, author and broadcaster Chris Foote Wood achieved a lifelong ambition - to visit every seaside pier in England, Wales and the Isle of Man - all 56 of them! This odyssey, plus copious research, has provided the raw material for Walking over the Waves. In words and pictures, Chris describes...

Fluid Mechanics, Second Edition deals with fluid mechanics, that is, the theory of the motion of liquids and gases. Topics covered range from ideal fluids and viscous fluids to turbulence, boundary layers, thermal conduction, and diffusion. Surface phenomena, sound, and shock waves are also discussed,...

Written by an experienced engineer, this book contains practical information on all aspects of pumps including classifications, materials, seals, installation, commissioning and maintenance. In addition you will find essential information on units, manufacturers and suppliers worldwide, providing...

First published in 1875. Over 270 illustrations. According to the Preface: "In modern times the tendency of the inhabitants of a country to dwell together in large communities, and the consequent need for accumulating in a particular locality a sufficient supply of water for household, social, and industrial...

THE BOOK IS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IN AUTOMOBILE WITH CLUTCH AND STEERING MECHANISM IN PART 1. IN PART 2 FLUID MECHANICS INTRO WITH FLUID PROPERTIES AND BERNOULLI'S THEOREM AND ITS APPLICATION LIKE PITOT TUBE AND VENTURIMETER IS EXPLAINED WITH SOME OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS.

Modelling forms a vital part of all engineering design, yet many hydraulic engineers are not fully aware of the assumptions they make. These assumptions can have important consequences when choosing the best model to inform design decisions. Considering the advantages and limitations of both...

Earth dams are the most common impoundment structures, with stringent requirements imposed on their design and construction. Modern design require accurate static and dynamic computations based on thorough analysis of stress-strain conditions, as detailed in this handbook (translated from the Russia

   In 1963-65, S.I. Fishgal, among novelties described later in his 600 patent applications and publications, pioneered in using hydrodynamic and electrophysical cavitation for numerous technological processes. At that time the only known use was ships supercavitation propulsion.  ...

Existing coastal management and defense approaches are not well suited to meet the challenges of climate change and related uncertanities. Professionals in this field need a more dynamic, systematic and multidisciplinary approach. Written by an international group of experts, Coastal Risk Management...

An Introduction to the Statistical Theory of Classical Simple Dense Fluids covers certain aspects of the study of dense fluids, based on the analysis of the correlation effects between representative small groupings of molecules. The book starts by discussing empirical considerations including the...
