Combines More Than 40 Years of Expert Experience Computational modelling and simulation methods have a wide range of applications in hydraulic and coastal engineering‎.‎ Computational Modelling in Hydraulic and Coastal Engineering provides an introductory but comprehensive coverage of these methods‎.‎ It emphasizes the use of the finite differences method with applications in reservoir management‎,‎ closed‎-conduit hydraulics‎,‎ free‎-surface channel and coastal domain flows‎,‎ surface gravity waves‎,‎ groundwater movement‎,‎ and pollutant and sediment transport processes‎.‎ It focuses on applications rather than lengthy theories or derivations of complex formulas and is supported by a wealth of hands‎-on numerical examples and computer codes written in MATLAB but available also in BASIC‎.‎ PowerPoint presentations and learning assignment projects/quizzes‎,‎ along with learning assessment rubrics‎,‎ are included‎.‎A comprehensive study highlighting the infinite differences method‎,‎ this book‎:‎ * Covers the fundamentals of flow in pressurized conduits * Contains solutions for the classical Hardy Cross pipe network problem * Designates the mathematical description of groundwater flow in confined and unconfined aquifers * Provides numerical examples for one‎- and two‎-dimensional applications including saltwater intrusion * Presents examples of transport of pollutants‎,‎ sediment and air bubbles using Eulerian and Lagrangian solution methodologies * Includes information on weighted residuals‎,‎ the finite elements method‎,‎ and the boundary integral method Computational Modelling in Hydraulic and Coastal Engineering suits senior‎-level undergraduates and graduate students as well as practitioners such as coastal and maritime engineers‎,‎ environmental engineers‎,‎ civil engineers‎,‎ computer modellers‎,‎ and hydro‎-geologists‎.‎
