The book provides a useful presentation of classical methods to solve the equations for the propagation of waves in rivers and estuaries. … A few Python programs are made available, and a range of online resources, including problem sets and computer codes, are also provided … In summary, Unsteady Flow in Open Channels is truly an excellent addition to the library. It provides a thorough mathematical treatment of wave propagation for a broad range of engineering problems. It is highly instructive and well-presented. The book is affordable to everyone, and its handy format makes it a most desirable classroom companion. It will be treasured by those who want to understand the main concepts of unsteady flow with a solid level of technical detail.'

This book proposes a unified theoretical framework for the different types of shallow flow, providing a coherent approach to interpret the behaviour of such flows, and highlighting the similarities and differences. Every major topic in the book is accompanied by worked examples illustrating the theoretical concepts. Practical examples, showcasing inspiring research and engineering applications from the past and present, provide insight into how the theory developed. The book is also supplemented by a range of online resources, available at www.cambridge.org\/battjes, including problem sets and computer codes. A solutions manual is available for instructors. This book is intended for students and professionals working in environmental water systems, in areas such as coasts, rivers, harbours, drainage, and irrigation canals.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e 1.
