## Resource

A comprehensive study of fluid mechanics in systems driven by gravity and defined by a free surface. This textbook integrates theoretical principles with experimental data and modern numerical methods, specifically featuring new computational tools translated into MATLAB. It addresses a wide range of topics, including stormwater management, floodplain analysis, sediment transport, and the design of hydraulic structures like spillways and culverts. Written for both students and professionals, the work emphasizes how the Froude number and flow resistance govern water movement in both natural rivers and engineered channels. The latest edition also incorporates advanced three-dimensional CFD modeling and updated research on stream restoration to meet contemporary engineering challenges.
