Bücher der Reihe IAHR Design Manual

This monograph is aimed at the practising hydraulic engineer. It is a joint effort from experts throughout the world and is based on the technical literature on the subject that was published from 1982 to 1988, a period in whcih literatureon understanding of the air water flow phenomena expanded considerable. Contains many addiontal references.

This manual provides the procedures and data necessary to calculate discharges over and through hydraulic structures. Topics covered include discharge measurement structures; discharge relationships and component head losses.

Produced for the International Association for Hydraulic Research, this monograph covers fluctuating and mean hydrodynamic forces, hydrodynamic forces on high-head gates, and hydrodynamic forces on low-head gates.

Fundamentals of vortex intake flow; Results theoretical & experimental work; Prediction of critical submergence; Modeling of vortices & swirling flows; Design; Intake structures; Pump sumps; Vortex-flow intakes. This volume forms an essential reference work for anyone involved in intakes, either as a practising design engineer or research worker. Water Power & Dam Constr., July 1988.The book is essential reading for postgraduate students & researchers alike and a very valuable aid to design engineers. Hydrol.Sc.Jrl., 33(3), 1988.
