What this topic covers

: Explains real-world problems like dam-breaks and flood routing in detail. Google Books Where to Find it

: Features numerical methods for flood routing, dam-break situations, and Saint-Venant equations.

In reality, channel slopes and cross-sections change, causing the water depth to vary gradually over long distances. The book excels at explaining the dynamic equation of GVF and classifying water surface profiles (M-curves, S-curves, C-curves, A-curves, and H-curves). Engineers use these profiles to predict how backwater from a dam or weir will affect upstream lands. E. Rapidly Varied Flow (RVF) and the Hydraulic Jump
