  • 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.

  • Summary

    Chapter 13 introduces different types of spillways and gates. Hydraulic structures provide human-made control of flow depth and discharge. This chapter provides a broad overview of this complex topic with a few calculation examples for two main types of structures: spillways in Section 13.1 and gates in Section 13.2.

  • Summary

    Chapter 15 summarizes the fundamentals of geohydrology. This chapter provides a brief overview of the physical properties of wet soils in Section 15.1 and discussion of processes associated with high water content in Section 15.2.

  • 14 - Hydrology

    19 May 2022, pp 251-276

  • Summary

    Chapter 14 outlines broad-based concepts in hydrology. Hydrology keeps focus on flood magnitude and frequency to better design hydraulic structures. This chapter reviews hydrologic processes in Section 14.1, flood discharge in Section 14.2 and extreme floods in Section 14.3.

  • 7 - Pipe Flow Oscillations

    19 May 2022, pp 127-140

  • Summary

    Chapter 7 presents fundamental methods for unsteady flow in pipes. The material bridges the gap between spring-mass systems covered in engineering mechanics and flow oscillations in pipes. This more advanced treatment focuses on fluid oscillations in pipes without friction in Section 7.1, with laminar friction in Section 7.2, turbulent friction in Section 7.3 and oscillations between reservoirs in Section 7.4.

  • 9 - Rapidly Varied Flow

  • Pierre Y. Julien, Colorado State University

    Essentials of Hydraulics
    Published online:

    Print publication:
    19 May 2022, pp 156-179

  • Summary

    Chapter 9 deals with rapidly varied open-channel flow. Rapidly varied flow refers to nonuniform flow conditions changing suddenly over short distances. The analysis of rapidly varied flow requires the application of the principles of conservation of energy in Section 9.1 and conservation of momentum in Section 9.2. This leads us to the definition of hydraulic controls in Section 9.3.

    19 May 2022, pp 47-64

  • Summary

    Chapter 3 derives the governing equations describing the motion of water. It uses the concept of impulse-momentum to calculate hydrodynamic forces. We examine the forces from water jets in Section 3.1 and forces in pipes in Section 3.2 prior to a review of flow measurement techniques in Section 3.3.
