1. Applied Hydrodynamics

   An Introduction to Ideal and Real Fluid Flows

   By Hubert Chanson

   Fluid dynamics is the engineering science dealing with forces and energies generated by fluids in motion. Fluid dynamics and hydrodynamics play a vital role in everyday life. Practical examples include the flow motion in the kitchen sink, the exhaust fan above the stove, and the air conditioning...

3. Hydraulics of Stepped Chutes and Spillways

   By Hubert Chanson

   Stepped channel design has been in use for more than 3,500 years. Recent advances in technology have triggered a regained interest in stepped design, although much expertise has been lost in the last 80 years. The steps significantly increase the rate of energy dissipation taking place along...
