I want to study Hydraulics I need good books

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on recommended textbooks for studying civil engineering hydraulics. Key titles include "Fluid Principles" by Vardy, "Hydraulic Structures" by Novak, and "Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering" by Chadwick and Morfett, all of which are noted for their modern metric approach. Additionally, "Essentials of Engineering Hydraulics" by Dake covers coastal engineering, while "Solutions to Problems in Fluid Mechanics" by Douglas serves as an excellent problem book, divided into elementary and advanced sections.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of civil engineering principles
  • Familiarity with fluid mechanics concepts
  • Knowledge of modern metric systems in engineering
  • Ability to solve engineering problems using textbooks
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Fluid Mechanics for Hydraulic Engineers" by Hunter Rouse for foundational knowledge
  • Explore "Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics" by Lewitt for additional insights
  • Study "Hydraulics" by King, Wisler, and Woodburn for historical context
  • Practice problem-solving with "Solutions to Problems in Fluid Mechanics" by Douglas
USEFUL FOR

Civil engineering students, hydraulic engineers, and professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of hydraulics and fluid mechanics.

it's civil engineering hydraulics, and I want to be good at it,
I am in need of some good textbooks
and problems book

anyone out there who knows?

I assume you are studying the rest of civil engineering as well so I have included some books that link into these areas.

For understanding

Fluid Principles : Vardy. Excellent modern metric book by a civil engineer.

Hydraulics in Civil Engineering

Hydraulic Structures : Novak : Latest editions are modern and metric

Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering : Chadwick and Morfett: Latest editions are modern and metric

Essentials of Engineering Hydraulics : Dake : Modern and metric includes coastal engineering.

Some older good books not necessarily metric

Fluid Mechanics for Hydraulic Engineers : Hunter Rouse

Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics : Lewitt

Hydraulics : King, Wisler and Woodburn

Problem Books

Solutions to problems in Fluid Mechanics : Douglas. Not metric but excellent and clear. In two parts part I elelementary part II advanced.
