Of Related Interest Fluid Mechanics through Problems R.J. Garde This book is an outcome of author's over thirty years of teaching Fluid Mechanics to undergraduate and postgraduate students. The book is written with the purpose that, through this book, student should appreciate the strength and limitations of the theory, and also its potential for application in solving a variety of engineering problems of practical importance. It makes available to the students, appearing for diploma and undergraduate courses in Civil, Chemical and Mechanical Engineering, a book which briefly introduces the necessary theory, followed by a set of descriptive/objective questions. In seventeen chapters the book covers the broad areas of fluid properties, kinematics, dynamics, dimensional analysis, laminar flow, boundary layer theory, turbulent flow, forces on immersed bodies, open channel flow, compressible and unsteady flows, and pumps and turbines. Mechanics of Sediment Transportation and Alluvial Stream Problems R.J. Garde and K.G. Ranga Raju This is the second edition of the book which was first published in 1977. The first part of the book covering eight chapters is devoted to a discussion of the fundamental processes in the mechanics of sediment transportation, such as sediment properties, bedform and resistance analysis and sediment transport. The remaining nine chapters forming the second part deal with applied problems in alluvial streams such as sampling, stable channel design, aggradation, degradation, plan-form variation, river training, sediment control, sediment transport through pipes, etc. The book takes a balanced view of theory and practice and will, therefore, be invaluable to researchers, planners and designers.
