This book presents recent advances in hydraulic engineering and the design of hydraulic structures, focusing on the integration of emerging technologies, innovative materials, and sustainable practices. It covers a wide range of topics including computational modelling using tools such as CFD, HEC-RAS, TELEMAC, and machine learning, along with their applications in flow analysis, sediment transport, and structural behaviour under various scenarios. The book highlights the use of smart technologies like IoT-based sensors and SCADA systems for real-time monitoring and adaptive control of hydraulic infrastructure. It also explores cutting-edge materials such as fiber-reinforced concrete, geosynthetics, and self-healing systems aimed at improving durability and performance. Emphasizing environmentally responsible design, the book discusses eco-hydraulic concepts and nature-based solutions for flood management and ecosystem preservation. This volume serves as a valuable reference for researchers, engineers, and practitioners involved in hydraulic systems, infrastructure resilience, and sustainable water resource management.
