About the Author

M. Hanif Chaudhry, Ph.D., is CEC Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering and Associate Dean (International Programs) in the  College of Engineering and Computing, University of South Carolina. Dr. Chaudhry received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. His area of specialization is water resource engineering with emphasis on the mathematical and physical modeling of steady and unsteady flows in closed conduits and open-channel. He has served as a specialist consultant to national and international organizations and consulting engineering companies in all six continents on large water resource projects and to law firms in litigation cases.  His research interests include both numerical and experimental investigations on fluid transients in pipelines, on flood flows in rivers and channels, on levee breach, and on dam failure.
