Description
A A Balkema Publishers Flow Adaptive Schemes 2007 Edition by Vendrana Kutija
A study in the development of flow adaptive numerical schemes in computational hydraulics directed to enhancing modelling capabilities. Examples covered include additional flow resistance due to flexible vegetation; one-dimensional supercritical flow; and flow in networks of channels.
