Reviews
'Nonhydrostatic free surface flows' is an excellent book that merits having a place on the shelves of any person dedicated to any discipline in which the flow of water might be fundamental, from ecology to civil engineering. (Juan V. Giraldez, Environmental Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 19, 2019) This is the first free surface hydraulics book dedicated to Boussinesq's theory since Boussinesq's 1877 book. The book contains a clear presentation of basic theoretical aspects. It is carefully illustrated and edited. ... Non-hydrostatic free surface flows is a valuable addition to the literature, containing information that will be of great interest for students, researchers and professors working in open channel hydraulics.
