Hydraulics & pneumatics

Series: NATO Science Series E:

The growing use of mathematical models in hydraulics has not made physical models obsolete. They keep pace with mathematical models and in some cases make progress in conjunction with them Physical models continue to be developed: more precise use of similitude criteria, better knowledge of scale effects, new and more complex types of model,use of various artifices, more ade- quate instrumentation, automation of the operation of model- all these pOint to that development. What was needed was to make a survey of the situation, and this was the principal aim of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Recent Advances in Hydraulic Physical Modelling, which took place on the premises of the Laborat6rio Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC) in Lisbon, Portugal, from 4th to 15th July 1988, and of which this book is one of the main outputs. It is divided into 11 chapters, corresponding to 28 lectures that cover five areas: fundamentals of physical modelling, river models, hydraulics of structures, maritime hvdraulics and densi ty models. -- Hodelling is obviously dependent on the knowledge of the phe- nomena that are being modelled. This book is therefore also a book on hydraulic engineering in general and not only on phv- sical, modelling. The text also refers to mathematical modelling, experimental methods in hydraulics and observation of nature and prototypes.

Reviews for Recent Advances in Hydraulic Physical Modelling

' Murtonen's Hebrew in its West Semitic Setting will be appreciated as reference work. Nowhere else there is so much data about non-Tiberian Hebrew tradition available, together with evidence from non-Biblical sources. Both the author and those who helped him in preparing the printout and in other tasks, as well as the institutions which supported this work financially, in his native Finland, in Australia, where he performed his research, and in other countries, deserve the gratitude of those who will use the results for their own research as a thesaurus of data and stimulus for the further development of Hebrew and related studies.'<br>Stanislav Segert, Wiener Zeitschrift f]r die Kunde des Morgenlandes.<br>
