About this book

The book provides the solutions to the unsolved problems given in the book titled Fluvial Hydrodynamics: Hydrodynamic and Sediment Transport Phenomena. The manual includes the solutions to the problems on Chapters 1 to 11, including the properties of fluid and sediment, hydrodynamic principles, turbulence in open-channel flows, sediment threshold, bedload transport, suspended-load transport, total-load transport, bedforms, river processes, scour, and dimensional analysis and similitude. It, therefore, serves as a guide for graduate students, researchers, and field engineers to solve the problems in fluvial hydrodynamics. As a prerequisite, the background of the readers should have a knowledge in fluvial hydrodynamics described in the said book and an understanding of fundamentals of calculus.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
The chapter provides solutions to the problems related to the properties of fluid, sediment, fluid–sediment mixture, and terminal fall velocity of particles.
Subhasish Dey, Sk Zeeshan Ali
Chapter 2. Hydrodynamic Principles
Abstract
The chapter furnishes solutions to the problems linked with the hydrodynamic principles that deal with the mechanics of fluid flow, three conservation principles: mass, momentum, and energy, gradually and rapidly varied flows, boundary layer theory, and hydrodynamic drag and lift on a particle.

Chapter 3. Turbulence in Open Channel Flows
Abstract
The chapter presents solutions to the problems associated with the Navier–Stokes and the Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations, mixing length theory, velocity distribution and bed shear stress in an open-channel flow, isotropic turbulence theory, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget, isotropic turbulence theory, phenomenological theory of turbulence, and turbulence anisotropy.
Subhasish Dey, Sk Zeeshan Ali

Abstract
The chapter provides solutions to the problems related to the Shields diagram, deterministic and probabilistic models of sediment threshold, turbulence phenomenological approach, and stable-ideal section of a channel.
Subhasish Dey, Sk Zeeshan Ali
Chapter 5. Bedload Transport
Abstract
The chapter furnishes solutions to the problems linked with the bedload transport rate of uniform and nonuniform sediment, particle saltation, sediment sorting, streambed armoring, sediment entrainment probability to bedload, and effects of bedload on velocity distribution.
Subhasish Dey, Sk Zeeshan Ali
