Hello everyone!
I'm a civil engineering (bachelor) student, and I was fascinated by the "hydraulics" course.
unfortunately, my study plan doesn't include other courses on the matter for at least one year.
Thus, I am looking for some easy books to begin with, to study it a bit on my own.
Also, I'd like to know which journals or websites allow publications on the most relevant, current issues about fluid dynamics and its applications to civil engineering (it'd be great if there were some free to read).
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance :D
