Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics

Autorentext

Vedat Batu graduated from the Civil Engineering Faculty of Istanbul Technical University (Istanbul, Trkiye) in 1969 with B.S and M.S degrees (combined) in the area of civil engineering. In the same year, he was appointed as an instructor in the Hydraulic Engineering Division of the Civil Engineering Department of Karadeniz Technical University (Trabzon, Trkiye). He received his Ph.D. in Hydraulic Engineering from Istanbul Technical University in 1974. He prepared his Associate Professorship thesis in Hydraulic Engineering in 1976-1977 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. After the submittal of his thesis and passing all required examinations, he was appointed as an Associate Professor (Doçent) in the Department of Civil Engineering of Karadeniz Technical University in June 1979 and he worked as a faculty member until the end of 1982. Finally, he was the Chairman of the Civil Engineering Department. At the end of 1982, he voluntarily resigned from his position and went to the United States of America. He also served as a visiting professor in several universities in the United States and in the United Kingdom and then he joined the private sector in the US and worked on mostly environmental engineering-related projects. In Trkiye and the US, he taught many courses both at undergraduate and graduate levels, including hydraulic engineering, open channel hydraulics, hydrology, and ground water hydraulics for over 10 years. Since he received his PhD 1974, Dr. Batu has been involved in many scientific projects and published a number of authored and co-authored papers in some internationally-recognized journals including Ground Water, Journal of Hydrology, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, Soil Science Society of America Journal, and Water Resources Research. Dr. Batu has developed new concepts and approaches including many analytical and numerical models in the areas of aquifer hydraulics, vadose zone hydrology, and solute transport in aquifers. Besides this book, he is also the author of two others -- Aquifer Hydraulics and Applied Flow and Solute Transport Modeling. His original papers and books are cited and used as text books by many scientists and practitioners around the world, and these can be seen at http://scholar.google.com. Dr. Batu was appointed as a full professor in August 2008 in the Department of Civil Engineering of Yeditepe University (Istanbul, Trkiye). Currently, he is an employee of Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago, Illinois.

Klappentext

The book presents the basic principles of fluid mechanics through the use of numerous worked examples. It serves as an effective learning source for college students and as a teaching tool for instructors (with an included solutions manual) as well as for practicing professionals in the areas of fluid mechanics and hydraulics.
