Open-Channel Flow

The book is helpful, but I feel that the author leaves out much of the derviations and concepts behind the material. It is hard to intuit much the way the material is presented. I would recommend Open Channel Hydraulics by Chow (1959) over this book, or as an accompanyment to it.

This course was a bit difficult to comprehend, but after coming back to it for reference, I was able to gain a deeper appreciation of it. The computation fluid dynamics section was pretty helpful.

it's a very good book,like new,as never been used before,there is not any damage of the book,I will not hasitate to buy another if I need one more

As described in the website as well as in book's preface a CD-ROM with short computer programs are provided. I have purchased the book in Amazon.com, but I did not receive the CD...

i was excited to see this book back in print. However, i regret purchasing it. The content is very similar to the old 1993 edition, which is generally very good. i did find mistakes in a few formulas when comparing to the old edition. When i contacted Springer about this, i got a generic response that they would notify the author and an errata would be posted on the Springer website. This has yet to appear. Also, the index is a joke. You can view it on Amazon. Take a look at say "finite difference" and view one of the worst editing jobs ever. Not what i would expect from a Springer publication. On the plus side, there is a new chapter on sediment transport.

Thanks item as described.

I was very disappointed in the quality of this book. The book did not come with a CD as the description indicates and the binding split from the hardcover 6 weeks into my class. This book also does not have very many worked examples showing the implementation of the theory, which some students fine usful and the textbook does not seem to have a student solutions manual. Since I am pursuing a MS online, having resources such as a solutions manual would have been helpful when professors and peers are not readily accessible.

This is for sure one of the books every hydraulic engineer has to have in his library ! Complete, up to date, good numerical techniques explication... that's it !!
