Open-channel flow is everywhere-from rivers and stormwater channels to culverts, spillways, irrigation canals, and flood-control systems.Understanding how that water behaves is essential when design decisions affect infrastructure, property, and public safety.

Open Channel Hydraulics Handbook gives you a practical, engineering-focused reference for moving from fundamental flow principles to real-world analysis and design. Written for civil engineering students, water resources professionals, drainage designers, and practicing engineers, it connects classical hydraulic theory with the calculations and modeling concepts used in modern practice.Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Analyze uniform, critical, gradually varied, and rapidly varied open channel flow
• Apply Manning's equation, specific energy, momentum, Froude number, and hydraulic-radius relationships
• Calculate normal depth, critical depth, backwater profiles, hydraulic jumps, and energy losses
• Evaluate weirs, flumes, sluice gates, culverts, bridges, and channel transitions
• Design stable channels using lining, riprap, vegetation, freeboard, and erosion-control principles
• Understand sediment transport, bed-load and suspended-load behavior, scour, aggradation, and degradation
• Work with flood routing, the Saint-Venant equations, dam-break concepts, and 1D/2D hydraulic modeling
• Reference both U.S. customary and SI units, supported by equations, tables, and black-and-white instructional illustrations

Rather than treating formulas as isolated equations, the handbook emphasizes why a method works, when it applies, and where its assumptions break down-helping you make better engineering decisions instead of simply producing calculations.Build a stronger working command of open channel flow and hydraulic engineering-add Open Channel Hydraulics Handbook to your engineering reference library today.
