Overview

This textbook discusses the fundamental principles of sediment transport in the geophysical context of rivers. It is intended as both a course textbook and as a guide for the practical engineer. It begins begin by describing phenomena such as bed load and suspension transport from a classical perspective. Concepts from turbulent flow regime are introduced to address the limitations of the classical approach to various aspects of sediment transport.

Reviews

<p>From the reviews: <p> Sediment transport is a multidisciplinary science, and proper understanding of the sediment-transport phenomenon in solving real-life problems involves very active collaboration between physicists, engineers, mathematicians, statisticians and geologists. The book is very well written with plenty of illustrations. I sincerely believe that this book will be extremely helpful for advanced undergraduates, graduates and researchers of sediment transport. I strongly recommend the book for the libraries of all universities/institutions. (Rajat Mazumder, Journal of Sedimentary Research, January, 2007)<p> The book discusses the fundamental principles of sediment in the geophysical context of rivers. Different approaches to modeling the sediment transport are presented. The book reflects most up-to-date research in the field. It may be used both as a course textbook, and as a guide for practical engineers. (llya A. Chernov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1105 (7), 2007)<p>
