FLOW TRANSITION DESIGN IN HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES (HB 2020) Hardcover

This book focuses on the role of transitions in hydraulic structures to enhance both economy and efficiency. It covers various types of flow transitions, including sub-critical to sub-critical, sub-critical to super-critical, super-critical to sub-critical with hydraulic jump, and super-critical to super-critical transitions. The book starts with an introduction and then explores the characteristics of flow in each type of transition, along with the design procedures for hydraulic transitions in different structures. It also includes information on various appurtenances used to control flow separation and maintain uniform flow at the exit of transitions and diffusers. Additionally, the book provides examples of hydraulic design for several typical hydraulic structures.
