Sediment Transport
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.
Sediment Transport
The purpose of this book is to put together recent developments on sediment transport and morphological processes. There are twelve chapters in this book contributed by different authors who are currently involved in relevant research. First three chapters provide information on basic and advanced flow mechanisms including turbulence and movement of particles in water. Examples of computational procedures for sediment transport and morphological changes are given in the next five chapters. These include empirical predictions and numerical computations. Chapters nine and ten present some insights on environmental concerns with sediment transport. Last two contributions deal with two large-scale case studies related to changes in the transport and provenance of glacial marine sediments, and processes involving land slides.
Erosion and Sedimentation Manual
NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT--OVERSTOCK SALE --Significantly reduced list price while supplies last The Erosion and Sedimentation Manual provides a comprehensive coverage of subjects in nine chapters (i.e., introduction, erosion and reservoir sedimentation, noncohesive sediment transport, cohesive sediment transport, sediment modeling for rivers and reservoirs, sustainable development and use of reservoirs, river process and restoration, dam decommissioning and sediment management, and reservoir surveys and data analysis). Each chapter is self-contained, with cross references of subjects that are discussed in different chapters of this manual. The manual also includes a l...
The Science and Impact of Climate Change
This volume provides a holistic and concise overview of the complex science of climate change involving the interplay of multiple factors. It also acts as a primer and a one-source reference to all the aspects of climate change, allowing researchers to understand the complexity of this science and to see the larger picture, thereby aiming towards holistic solutions. Beginning in the second half of the twentieth century, the impacts of climate change have been the worst nightmare to hit humanity so fiercely, causing loss of human life and irreparable destruction to natural and man-made infrastructure in many parts of the world. The difference between climate change now and in the past is that...
