PRINCIPLES OF RIVER HYDRAULICS - ARONNE ARMANIN...

This book presents key principles of the hydraulics of river basins  with a unique focus on the
interplay between stream flows and sediment transport. Addressing a number of basic topics
related to the hydraulics of natural waterways  it above all emphasizes applicative aspects in
order to provide the reader with a solid grasp of river engineering.The first chapter explores
many of the fixed base hydraulic topics that are normally neglected in traditional texts 
namely the effects on motion produced by the vegetation and macroroughnesses that characterize
many mountain streams. The remaining chapters are devoted entirely to hydraulics with mobile
riverbeds and put particular emphasis on inhomogeneous river channels.The book's approach goes
beyond classical treatments  so as to not only introduce readers to the fundamentals of mobile
riverbeds  but also enable today's river engineers to successfully design and maintain natural
riverbeds.
