Hydraulics in Civil Engineering: A Course with Experiments and Open-Source-Codes

Autor Christoph Rapp
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iun 2024
On the one hand, the book closes the gap between applied civil engineering hydraulics books and standard fluid mechanics works; on the other hand, it is designed as a course that can be applied modularly. The goal is to present the facts in an understandable and descriptive way and with experiments, software, and materials that are available anywhere.

This is an open access book.

Notă biografică

Dr. Christoph Rapp was a research associate at the Chair of Hydraulics and Hydrology and later the Department of Hydromechanics at the Technical University of Munich. He was head of the laboratory there after receiving his doctorate. In addition to experimental research into complex flows, he devoted himself to illustrative teaching. He received several prizes for this, including the Ernst Otto Fischer Teaching Prize for an innovative teaching concept. In the context of his collaboration with Markus Heinsdorff, he inspires with installation art on the subject of water. He is head of the hydropower department of an energy supplier and lectures at Bauhaus University, Weimar. He also currently teaches at universities in developing countries through the International Knowledge Exchange Association, which he founded (Verein zur Förderung des internationalen Wissensaustauschs e.V.).

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The book serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it bridges the divide between applied civil engineering hydraulics and conventional fluid mechanics literature. Secondly, it is structured as a modular course, allowing for flexible application. The goal is to present information in a clear and illustrative manner, utilizing readily available materials, experiments, and open-source code examples.

This is an open access book. 

The content

  • is accompanied by code examples for open-source software
  • includes descriptive explanations, illustrative experiments and easy-to-understand examples
  • combines Sustainable Development Goals SDG4 and SDG 6: access to water and sanitation, respectively
