Hydrodynamics of Free Surface Flows

Beschreibung

A definitive guide for accurate state-of-the-art modelling offree surface flows Understanding the dynamics of free surface flows is the startingpoint of many environmental studies, impact studies, and waterworksdesign. Typical applications, once the flows are known, are waterquality, dam impact and safety, pollutant control, and sedimenttransport. These studies used to be done in the past with scalemodels, but these are now being replaced by numerical simulationperformed by software suites called "hydro-informaticsystems". The Telemac system is the leading software packageworldwide, and has been developed by Electricité de France andJean-Michel Hervouet, who is the head and main developer of theTelemac project. Written by a leading authority on Computational Fluid Dynamics,the book aims to provide environmentalists, hydrologists, andengineers using hydro-informatic systems such as Telemac and thefinite element method, with the knowledge of the basic principles,capabilities, different hypotheses, and limitations. Inparticular this book: * presents the theory for understanding hydrodynamics through anextensive array of case studies such as tides, tsunamis, stormsurges, floods, bores, dam break flood waves, density drivencurrents, hydraulic jumps, making this a principal reference on thetopic * gives a detailed examination and analysis of the notoriousMalpasset dam failure * includes a coherent description of finite elements in shallowwater * delivers a significant treatment of the state-of-the-art flowmodelling techniques using Telemac, developed by Electricitéde France * provides the fundamental physics and theory of free surfaceflows to be utilised by courses on environmental flows Hydrodynamics of Free Surface Flows is essential readingfor those involved in computational fluid dynamics andenvironmental impact assessments, as well as hydrologists, andbridge, coastal and dam engineers. Guiding readers from fundamentaltheory to the more advanced topics in the application of the finiteelement method and the Telemac System, this book is a key referencefor a broad audience of students, lecturers, researchers andconsultants, right through to the community of users ofhydro-informatics systems.
