Hydraulic Design of Stepped Cascades, Channels, Weirs and Spillways - Hardcover
Chanson (hydraulics and environmental engineering) briefly reviews the 2,500-year history of using stepped channels and spillways to distribute the energy of a flow along the channel and thus reduce the energy at the bottom; and in water treatment plants to enhance the air-water transfer of atmospheric gasses and volatile organic components. He then describes the hydraulics of the two possible flow regimes, nappe and skimming; the effects of flow aeration and air bubble entrapment; the process of gas transfer; examples of the various types and designs of stepped flows; and the accidents and risks involved with the higher hydrodynamic forces on the step faces than on smooth chute bottoms.

Review:
...Chanson has written a very interesting book on a subject that is attracting a great deal of interest at this time. -- N. Rajaratnam, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, December 1995
1996 This book is very much about stepped channels and chutes and contains a wealth of knowledge on these subjects.... The book is well documented and gives the impression of being very thorough.... I was pleased to feel that the author does all he can to assist the reader in coming to grips with the material by showing results in graphical form, adding comments to results and also be giving examples of how to do calculations while in the process of making design. -- R.J. de Jong, The Netherlands, Journal of Hydraulic Research, Vol. 34, No. 2,

This excellent text covers both the theory and practice of various types of stepped channels in a comprehensive manner, including the use of new materials and a chapter on the risk of accidents and failures with stepped channels. The book is well referenced and contains a great deal of useful data. -- 1995
