The manuals and monographs are available from Balkema Publishers. They can be ordered through the secretariat by e-mail. Swirling Flow Problems at Intakes Fundamentals of vortex intake flow; Results theoretical & experimental work; Prediction of critical submergence; Modelling of vortices & swirling flows; Design; Intake structures; Pump sumps; Vortex flow intakes. Scouring Most structures increase scouring, at least locally and often to the detriment of river regimes. To predict this an understanding of scouring is necessary. Basic concepts of soil erosion & sediment transport; Scour in river & river constructions; Scour around spur dikes & abutments; Scour at bridge piers; Scour by jets, at high-head structures & culvert outlets; Scour below low-head structures. Hydrodynamic Forces Only the forces induced by flow incident or past the structure are treated in this monograph. Fluctuating & mean hydrodynamic forces; Hydrodynamic forces on high-head gates; Hydrodynamic forces on low-head gates; References; Subject index. Air entrainment in Free Surface Flow Introduction to air-water flows; Local surface aeration at hydraulic structures; Free surface entrainment on spillways; Aerators on spillways; Prototype aerator measurements. Water Quality and its Control Physical as well as biochemical processes of pollution in aquatic environments are described. Theories and means to predict the magnitude of environmental |
