Description

Product Description This monograph provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art description of the work carried out in the UK and Japan on "Flow and Sediment Transport in Compound Channels". It therefore describes research which has been conducted, primarily over the last two decades, and which has yielded a fairly detailed picture of the important behaviours of compound channels and produced a number of engineering prediction methods which ought to be widely adopted in practice. The text will inevitably highlight areas where our knowledge is sparse and it will spur others on in the task of filling in such gaps.The concept of bi-national groups of researchers meeting together intermittently over period of some years, though not new, has drawn both inspiration and experience and the interaction has produced tangible outcomes in the form of this useful publication. Review Flood modelling is challenging to the hydraulic engineering community: the human, social and environmental impact of flooding rivers is considerable; while the flow complexity and related uncertainties makes it hard to model accurately. Significant progress has been made on this complex topic during the last two decades, with major contributions by research teams from Japan and UK. The present monograph on "Flow and Sediment Transport in Compound Channels" offers a state-of-the-art review based on this experience. The authors deserve acknowledgement, as their work will help new researchers approaching this fascinating problem, but also facilitate improved engineering approaches to inundations. Dr. D. BousmarCoordinator of IAHR Working Group on Compound Channels About the Author Ian McEwan is a civil engineer with 20 years experience of research in fluiddynamics and sediment transport. He is a Reader in Engineering at AberdeenUniversity and in 2006 was awarded the Silver Medal of the Royal Academy ofEngineering for his work on pipeline leakage. Syunsuke Ikeda is a civil engineer more than 40 years experience of researchin river mechanics and environmental hydraulics. He is a professor in Civiland Environmental Engineering at Tokyo Institute of Technology. He wasawarded the Karl Emil Hilgard Prize of American Society of Civil Engineers,and is serving as an executive board member of Science Council of Japan.
