Elementary hydraulics / James F. Cruise, Mohsen M. Sherif, and Vijay P. Singh. - Canada : Thomas Nelson, c2007 - xv, 560 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references.
1. Introduction -- 2. Fluid properties -- 3. Forces, motions, and energy -- 4. Hydrostatics -- 5. Governing equations -- 6. Dimensional analysis and hydraulic similarity -- 7. Flow resistance and velocity distributions -- 8. Closed conduit flow -- 9. Pumps -- 10. Channel geometry -- 11. Resistance in open channels -- 12. Energy principles in open-channels -- 13. Momentum principles in open-channels -- 14. Gradually varied flow -- 15. Computation of water surface profiles -- 16. Design of hydraulic controls and structures.
Written for the undergraduate level, this book, divided into three parts, blends fluid mechanics, hydraulic science, and hydraulics engineering. It draws upon fluid mechanics and summarizes the concepts deemed essential to the teaching of hydraulics. It also discusses the science of hydraulics, and looks at the engineering practice of hydraulics.
