Editorial Reviews
Review
' ... a concise theoretical background to erosion and sedimentation processes ... The book is thoroughly recommended.' Ian R. Calder, Hydrology & Earth System Sciences
'The book is an excellent and accessible treatment of the 'classic' engineering approach to erosion and sedimentation. In this respect, it is a worthy primer for those requiring mastery over the essential technicalities of hydraulic analysis.' Progress in Physical Geography
'... well written and clearly set out ...'. Gary Nichols, Geological Magazine
Book Description
In this book, Professor Julien provides a thorough analysis of erosion, transport and sedimentation of soil and solid particles by surface waters. The author stresses physical understanding based on Newtonian mechanics, and explains fundamental concepts pertaining to the hydrodynamic forces exerted on solid particles, with a lucid treatment of potential flow, viscous flow, turbulent flow, and boundary layers. The text features a variety of exercises and problems for students and researchers, along with numerous examples and case studies for practicing engineers seeking solutions to real-world problems.
