About this ebook
The 1st Edition of Open Channel Design: Fundamentals and Applications by Ernest W. Tollner (published by Wiley) covers essential methodologies for water resource management, land development, and civil engineering consulting work. [1]
The book is uniquely structured to front-load uniform flow in its first few chapters (completing it by Chapter 4) so students can immediately build a practical design toolbox before moving into non-uniform and unsteady flows. [1, 2]
The core topics and applications covered throughout the book include:
1. Channel Design Methodologies
- Permissible Velocity: Standard design methods for rigid and unlined earthen channels to regulate flow speeds and prevent structural erosion.
- Tractive Force Methods: Analysis of the shear stress exerted by flowing water on the channel bed and banks.
- Regime Theory: Empirical and sustainable channel design approaches based on mobile-boundary channel behavior. [1, 2, 3]
2. Hydraulics & Flow Profiles
- Uniform and Non-uniform Flow: Extensive coverage of steady uniform flow early in the text, transitioning into non-uniform configurations. [1, 2]
- Flow Profiles: Examination of gradually and rapidly varied flow profiles and their practical engineering and design implications. [1, 2]
- Hydraulic Structures: Engineering fundamentals for structures used in flow control, velocity regulation, and water measurement (such as weirs, flumes, and culverts). [1, 2, 3]
3. Sediment Dynamics & Advanced Equations
- Sediment Transport Mechanics: Introduction to how solids move within fluids and their impact on channel boundaries.
- Moveable Boundaries: Designing channels that can structurally adapt to shifting boundaries due to natural sediment dynamics.
- Advanced Hydrodynamics: A brief foundational introduction to the St. Venant equations (unsteady flow) and Navier-Stokes equations, preparing students for advanced graduate coursework in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). [1]
4. Professional Software Applications
The textbook integrates practical engineering problem-solving using widely industry-accepted software packages, including: [1]
- HEC-RAS (River Analysis System for hydrodynamic modeling)
- HY8 (Culvert hydraulic analysis program)
- Mathematica (For handling complex math computations and iterative workflows)
