Features: Environmental hydraulics primarily studies the diffusion, transport, and mixing patterns of pollutants in water bodies. This book systematically introduces the fundamental concepts, theories, and analytical methods of environmental hydraulics. The book is divided into ten chapters: Introduction, Basic Laws of Flow Motion, Molecular Diffusion, Turbulent Diffusion, Flow Dispersion, Jets, Plumes, and Buoyant Jets, River Water Quality Simulation, Lake and Reservoir Water Quality Simulation, Groundwater Water Quality Simulation, and Basic Principles of Ecological Hydraulics. To facilitate readers' comprehension and application, the book includes numerous examples, review questions at the end of each chapter, and several case studies in chapters on river, lake, and reservoir water quality simulation and basic principles of ecological hydraulics. The book is rich in content, well-structured, and strong in logic and systematicity. It offers both theoretical depth and a focus on skill development, making it suitable for teaching and learning. It can serve as a textbook and primary reference for undergraduate and graduate students in water resources, environmental, chemical engineering, and energy-related fields, as well as for professionals and engineers in related technical fields.
