Features: This book introduces the origin and evolution of river dynamics, the basic properties of sediment particles, the fundamental concepts of open-channel turbulence, and the properties and resistance laws of riverbed sediment. It systematically elaborates on the laws of sediment initiation, transport, and suspension movement, provides a concise introduction to the other branch of river science—riverbed evolution—while also outlining the development trends of this discipline. The entire book is structured around the mechanical laws of sediment particle movement in water flow, supplemented by observational descriptions, mechanism analysis, and field data verification, to explain the fundamental knowledge of river dynamics. This book can serve as a reference for design, research, and teaching personnel in water conservancy engineering, environmental hydraulics, geological geography, and related fields, as well as for management personnel in related disciplines.
