Description
Summary:Based on his many years of research, teaching, engineering, and consulting, author Chih Ted Yang has written Sediment Transport Theory and Practice presenting readers with a balanced, in-depth treatment of the mechanics of sediment transport from a power approach. New in a field that has been studied for centuries by engineers and river morphologists, this outstanding book provides a systematic analysis and unparalled comparison of transport theories based on the force approach.
Striking a careful balance between theory and practice, this completely up-to-date volume incorporates the most current research, as well as important experimental and field evidence. Blending detailed historical developments with the latest progress and application techniques in research, Yang's work also provides brief summaries throughout - helping readers to focus more easily on the important facts.
Moreover, Professor Yang includes numerous examples for further increase reader comprehension and enhance application of critical information.
