Summary:

ICE Core Concepts: Hydraulics for Civil Engineers is an accessible introduction to the principles of hydraulics. Combining core theories with the need for sustainable solutions, the book covers all the fundamental areas in hydraulics, including pressure in liquids, real flow in pipes, turbines and pumps, hydrology of surface water drainage, coastal hydraulics and hydrology of river flow. The book explores key concepts and designs using real-life scenarios. Updates to this edition include new chapters on hydraulic measurement and control structures, and sediment transport, as well as extended coverage of key topics, including sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS), impacts of climate change and mathematical models. Key features include extensive use of worked examples, easily digestible topic summaries, over 100 explanatory diagrams, questions for practice with full solutions, and suggestions for further reading. ICE Core Concepts: Hydraulics for Civil Engineers is an accessible introduction to hydraulics and hydrology, and ideal reading for both student and graduate engineers seeking a concise overview of the subject.
