Computational River Dynamics
Weiming Wu “Computational River Dynamics"
Taylor & Francis | 2007-11-13 | ISBN:0415449618 | 494 pages | PDF | 4,6 Mb This comprehensive text on the fundamentals of modeling flow and sediment transport in rivers treats both the physical principles and numerical methods for various degrees of complexity. Included are 1-D, 2-D (both depth- and width-averaged) and 3-D models, as well as the integration and coupling of these models. The volume includes a broad selection of numerical methods for open-channel flows, such as the SIMPLE(C) algorithms on staggered and non-staggered grids, the projection method, and the stream function and vorticity method. The state-of-the-art in sediment transport modeling approaches is described, such as non-equilibrium transport models, non-uniform total-load transport models, and semi-coupled and coupled procedures for flow and sediment calculations. Sediment transport theory is discussed and many newly-developed, non-uniform sediment transport formulae are presented. The many worked examples illustrate various conditions, such as reservoir sedimentation, channel erosion due to dam construction, channel widening and meandering, local scour around in-stream hydraulic structures, vegetation effects on channel morphodynamic processes, cohesive sediment transport, dam-break fluvial processes and contaminant transport. This book is recommended as a reference guide for river and hydraulic scientists and engineers and as a course text for teaching sediment transport modeling, computational free-surface flow, and computational river dynamics to senior undergraduate and graduate students in civil engineering. It will also serve professionals in environmental, agricultural, and geological engineering.
Addison Wesley Implementation Patterns
Addison Wesley Implementation Patterns
Addison-Wesley | 2007 November | PDF | 1.3 Mb Great code doesn’t just function: it clearly and consistently communicates your intentions, allowing other programmers to understand your code, rely on it, and modify it with confidence. But great code doesn’t just happen. It is the outcome of hundreds of small but critical decisions programmers make every single day. Now, legendary software innovator Kent Beck–known worldwide for creating Extreme Programming and pioneering software patterns and test-driven development–focuses on these critical decisions, unearthing powerful “implementation patterns” for writing programs that are simpler, clearer, better organized, and more cost effective.
