Civil Engineering
“… a clear, intuitive, in-depth, and balanced textbook. … For students who
have no prior background, this is the book to start with. A [distinguishing]
feature that makes this book rather unique is the synthesis of the various
topics not covered elsewhere. … This broad scope makes this book also
suitable as a reference for both students and professionals involved in
computational hydraulics and environmental sciences.”
—Marcel Zijlema, Delft University of Technology
Computational modelling and simulation methods have a wide range
of applications in hydraulic and coastal engineering. This textbook
provides an introductory but comprehensive coverage of these methods.
It emphasises the use of the finite differences method with applications
in reservoir management, closed-conduit hydraulics, free-surface
channel and coastal domain flows, surface gravity waves, groundwater
movement, and pollutant and sediment transport processes. It focuses
on applications rather than lengthy theories or derivations of complex
formulas and is supported by a wealth of hands-on numerical examples
and computer codes written in MATLAB
®
but available also in BASIC.
PowerPoint presentations and learning assignment projects/quizzes,
along with learning assessment rubrics, are included.
It suits senior-level undergraduates and graduate students as well as
practitioners, such as coastal and maritime engineers, environmental
engineers, civil engineers, computer modellers, and hydro-geologists.
Christopher Koutitas is an emeritus professor at Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki in Greece.
Panagiotis Scarlatos is professor and director of the Center for Intermodal
Transportation Safety and Security at Florida Atlantic University.
