DESCRIPTION:
… the book to be a course textbook as well as a manual for engineers. … The book reflects most up-to-date research in the field. … The book is very well written with plenty of illustrations. Thompson, Geological Magazine, Vol. 145 (3), 2008). It may be used both as a course textbook, and as a guide for practical engineers." (llya A. E. 1105 (7), 2007)"The study of sediment transport is complex, and in this book the authors aim to bring together the most recent research with which to present the updated theories of sediment transport. Chernov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. From the reviews: "Sediment transport is a multidisciplinary science, and proper understanding of the sediment-transport phenomenon in solving real-life problems involves very active collaboration between physicists, engineers, mathematicians, statisticians and geologists. I strongly recommend the book for the libraries of all universities/institutions." (Rajat Mazumder,
This textbook discusses the fundamental principles of sediment transport in the geophysical context of rivers. It begins begin by describing phenomena such as bed load and suspension transport from a classical perspective. It is intended as both a course textbook and as a guide for the practical engineer. Concepts from turbulent flow regime are introduced to address the limitations of the classical approach to various aspects of sediment transport.
"Actually it cannot be upgraded" according to G. A. Cordoba Guerrero. If you are planning to buy this book because you want to upgrade it (as advertised), please be careful, because is not true that you can upgrade it!Gustavo
