Description for Sediment Transport
Hardback. Discusses the fundamental principles of sediment transport in the geophysical context of rivers. This book describes phenomena such as bed load and suspension transport from a classical perspective. It introduces concepts from turbulent flow regime to address the limitations of the classical approach to various aspects of sediment transport. Series: Fluid Mechanics and its Applications. Num Pages: 296 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TGB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 297 x 210 x 17. Weight in Grams: 603.
A major part of this sediment transport representation closely follows the progress made in understanding the interactions between a turbulent flow and transportable solid particles. Introducing new aspects found in the research of turbulent flows, this book updates the theory of sediment transport, e. g. , using new representations for flow separations, and coherent structures thought to be relevant and confronts the problem that existent theories do not relate directly the relevant quantities involved in the physical processes. A review of the complex matter suggests that a closer cooperation between engineers and physicists would benefit the problem and our concept ... Read more

Reviews for Sediment Transport
From the reviews: "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 ...
