Description
Book SynopsisA definitive guide for accurate state-of-the-art modelling of free surface flows Understanding the dynamics of free surface flows is the starting point of many environmental studies, impact studies, and waterworks design.
Trade Review?The book gains an insight into the mathematical fundament of free surface flows and into the implementation of these models in the programme system Telemac. It is useful for students and researchers of this field and of computational fluid dynamics.? (
ZAMM, October 2009)
"This would provide a useful guide from fundamental theory to more advanced topics that deal with the applications of the finite element method and the Telemac system." (Zentralblatt Math 1131, June 2008)
