Analysis of open-channel flow is essential for the planning, design, and operation of water-resource projects. The use of computers and the availability of efficient computational procedures has simplified such analysis, and made it possible to handle increasingly complex systems.
In Open-Channel Flow, Second Edition, author Hanif Chaudhry draws upon years of practical experience and incorporates numerous examples and real life applications, to provide the reader with:
- A strong emphasis on the application of efficient solution techniques, computational procedures, and numerical methods suitable for computer analyses;
- Complete coverage of steady and unsteady flow techniques;
- A new chapter on sediment transport and updated chapters on uniform flow and two dimensional flow techniques;
- New and updated problem sets and exercises, a solutions manual for instructors.
Open-Channel Flow, Second Edition is written for students in senior-level undergraduate and graduate courses on steady and unsteady open-channel flow and for civil engineers needing up-to-date and relevant information on the latest developments and techniques in the field.
List of contents

Summary
Open Channel Flow 2E is written for senior-level undergraduate and graduate courses on steady and unsteady open-channel flow. The book is comprised of two parts: Part I covers steady flow and Part II describes unsteady flow. The second edition features a very strong emphasis on the presentation of modern methods of analysis for computer analyses; full coverage of unsteady flow; inclusion of typical computer programs; new problem sets and a complete solution manual for the instructors.
