Computer modelling of free-surface and pressurized flows. Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute, Pullman, USA, June 1993

Computers are being widely used for the analysis, design, and operation of water resource projects. Several computational procedures and computer models have been developed. In order to provide a common forum where these methods and models could be presented and discussed, an Advanced Study Institute was held in Pullman, WA, USA from June 28 to July 9, 1993. This volume compiles an edited version of the lecture notes specially prepared for the institute by 14 well-known European and North American researchers. Part I of the proceedings deals with free-surface flows. Governing equations are derived and their solution by the finite-difference, finite-element, and boundary-integral methods are discussed. Turbulence models, three-dimensional models, dam-break flow models, sediment transport models, and flood routing models are presented. Part II is related to the modelling of steady and transient pressurized flows. Governing equations for both single and two-component flows are derived and numerical methods for their solution are presented. The modelling of water quality in pipe networks, of cooling water system, and slow and rapid transients is discussed. (from Editors)
