Written for a one-semester course in hydraulics, this concise textbook is rooted in the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and aims to promote sound hydraulic engineering practice. Basic methods are presented to underline the theory and engineering applications, and examples and problems build in complexity as students work their way through the textbook. Abundant worked examples and calculations, real-world case studies, and revision exercises, as well as precisely crafted end-of-chapter exercises ensure students learn exactly what they need in order to consolidate their knowledge and progress in their career. Students learn to solve pipe networks, optimize pumping systems, design pumps and turbines, solve differential equations for gradually-varied flow and unsteady flow, and gain knowledge of hydraulic structures like spillways, gates, valves, and culverts. An essential textbook for intermediate to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in civil and environmental engineering.
' I was lucky to be Pierre' s PhD student at Colorado State University many years ago. I took several courses from him and was deeply influenced by his teaching style and methods. I am more than happy to see the publication of his Essentials of Hydraulics so that the rest of the world of civil engineering students have a chance to learn from this great teacher and scholar. ' Junke Guo, University of Nebraska-Lincoln ' Essential of Hydraulics by Professor P. Y. Julien is an excellent and well-needed addition to the literature on hydraulic engineering. The textbook encompasses all subject areas of hydraulics with clarity, and provides an in-depth understanding of the theoretical aspects by using detailed step-by-step worked examples. In addition, the plethora of exercises and problems provide a solid pedagogical tool for mastering the material. The textbook is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, but also for engineers practicing in the general area of hydraulics. Based on my thirty years of academic experience in hydraulic engineering, I fully appreciate and unequivocally endorse this textbook. ' Panagiotis (Pete) D. Scarlatos, Florida Atlantic University ' This handily focused and lucidly written textbook presents the indispensable information needed for a course on civil engineering hydraulics. The textbook' s author writes from his extensive experience teaching hydraulics, and draws on his considerable insights into the practical hydraulics issues often faced by civil engineers. ' Robert Ettema, Colorado State University ' An excellent reference for a course in hydraulics covering fundamental principles in pipe flow, pumps, and open channel flow. With the numerous examples, this textbook will support learning very effectively in an undergraduate course or serve as review of hydraulics for a graduate course with exposure to more advanced topics. ' Paola Passalacqua, University of Texas at Austin ' This is an excellent textbook for learning and teaching the fundamentals of hydraulics and their applications in the fields of civil and environmental engineering. The topics covered in the book are comprehensive. The examples of numerical calculation help undergraduate and graduate students better understand the fundamental concepts, and the problems are well designed with different levels of challenge and importance.
