Sediment Transport: Theory and Practice

Sediment Transport Theory and Practice is based on the author's many years of research, teaching, engineering, and consulting experience. The book presents a balanced and in-depth treatment of the sediment transport theory and its applications to solving river engineering and environmental problems. The author provides a systematic analysis and comparison of transport theories based on the force and power approaches, blending detailed historical developments with the latest progress and application techniques in research and engineering. It includes numerous examples to enhance readers' comprehension and applications of critical information on river sedimentation. The book can be used as a textbook for students, a reference book for researchers, and an application manual for practitioners. A PC diskette containing commonly used sediment transport formulas is included. A solutions manual is available for professors.
