An Introduction to Application of Unsteady Flow Models of Rivers J Paul Guyer

This publication provides introductory technical guidance for civil engineers and other professional engineers interested in modeling of unsteady flow conditions in rivers. Here is what is discussed: 1. INTRODUCTION, 2. STEADY VERSUS UNSTEADY FLOW MODELS, 3. CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE UNSTEADY FLOW ANALYSIS, 4. GEOMETRY, 5. CONTROLS, 6. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS, 7. STEPS TO FOLLOW IN MODELING A RIVER SYSTEM, 8. ACCURACY OF OBSERVED DATA, 9. CALIBRATION AND VERIFICATION, 10. EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS OF UNSTEADY FLOW MODELS.
