DYNAMIC SIMULATION AND VIRTUAL REALITY IN HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT (PB 2022) Paperback

Dynamic Simulation and Virtual Reality in Hydrology and Water Resources Management explores the use and application of system dynamics simulation and virtual reality techniques for modeling the spatial and temporal behavior of both natural and managed hydro-environmental systems. The book introduces the concepts of systems thinking and system dynamics, helping to deepen the understanding of the dynamic behavior of natural and engineering systems through feedback mechanisms and dynamic simulation. It provides numerous examples of models created using various system dynamics simulation environments. Additionally, the text covers computer animation and virtual reality-based immersive modeling, demonstrating how these approaches are applied in modeling and managing hydro-environmental systems through case studies. This book is an excellent resource for water resources professionals, graduate students, hydrologic modelers, and engineers interested in systems thinking, dynamic simulation, and virtual reality modeling techniques. It serves as a valuable reference for engineers involved in modeling, managing, and operating hydrosystems, and is also highly useful for engineering educators aiming to enhance students' learning experiences.
