Synopsis
Written to meet the needs of both students and professionals, Computer Applications in Hydraulic Engineering (CAiHE) is the ideal text to work with design software in water resources engineering and hydraulic engineering courses, as well as a comprehensive learning tool for practicing engineers. Linking hydraulic theory with real-world applications, CAiHE focuses on problem-solving skills and computer modeling of open channel and pressure pipe flow including culvert analysis and pumping systems, the design and analysis of storm and sanitary sewers, water distribution network design and analysis including transients and water quality, and stormwater management with Low Impact Development strategies. Included in the text is how to access the academic license for working copies of Bentley System’s OpenFlows Software. Users are introduced to the modeling power of the latest software with access to continuously updated tutorials found in the Bentley Systems website. The text explains the theory and equations on which the software is based, and each chapter includes several problems for the reader to practice their problem-solving and modeling skills. Included in this 9th Edition: WaterGEMS, HAMMER, SewerGEMS, SewerCAD, PondPack, StormCAD, FlowMaster and CulvertMaster.
