A modern, thorough analysis of erosion and sedimentation of soil and solid particles by surface waters, based on Newtonian mechanics.The author has aimed for simplicity of presentation, stressing physical understanding over mathematical development. His book clearly explains fundamental concepts pertaining to hydrodynamic forces exerted on solid particles.Especially useful are numerous examples, exercises, problems, and case studies.Students, reseachers, and practitioners in civil and environmental engineering will find this a valuable information source.Pierre Y. Julien is the author of 'Erosion and Sedimentation', published 1995 under ISBN 9780521442374 and ISBN 0521442370.
