Overview

The state-of-the-art in fluvial hydrodynamics can be examined only through a careful exploration of the theoretical 4velopment and applied engineering technology. The book will be primarily focused, since most up-to-date research findings in the field will be presented, on the research aspects that involves a comprehensive knowledge of sediment dynamics in turbulent flows. It begins with the fundamentals of hydrodynamics and particle motion followed by turbulence characteristics related to sediment motion. Then, the sediment dynamics will be 4scribed from a classical perspective by applying the mean bed shear approach and additionally incorporating a statistical 4scription for the role of turbulence. The book will finally 4scribe the local scour problems at hydraulic structures and scale mo4ls. It is inten4d to 4sign as a course textbook in graduate / research level and a gui4 for the field engineers as well, keeping up with mo4rn technological 4velopments. Therefore, as a simple prerequisite, the background of the rea4rs should have a basic knowledge in hydraulics in un4rgraduate level and an un4rstanding of fundamentals of calculus.
