Use of models for river problems

In Chapter 2 of this report an overview is given on fluvial processes involved in the modelling discussed. Chapter 3 is concerned with scale models, whilst Chapter 4 deals with numerical models. The main problems treated are, firstly, modelling of the water movement, followed by sediment transport and morphology. Attention is also given to the...

Scale models in hydraulic engineering

principles of modelling, aids to experimental research, reproduction of hydraulic phenomena, design of scale models (rigid bed models, mobile bed models, coastal and estuarine problems, hydraulic structures).
