About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Sediment transport is a multidisciplinary science, and proper understanding of the sediment-transport phenomenon in solving real-life problems involves very active collaboration between physicists, engineers, mathematicians, statisticians and geologists. … The book is very well written with plenty of illustrations. … I sincerely believe that this book will be extremely helpful for advanced undergraduates, graduates and researchers of sediment transport. I strongly recommend the book for the libraries of all universities/institutions." (Rajat Mazumder, Journal of Sedimentary Research, January, 2007)
"The book discusses the fundamental principles of sediment in the geophysical context of rivers. Different approaches to modeling the sediment transport are presented. … The book reflects most up-to-date research in the field. It may be used both as a course textbook, and as a guide for practical engineers." (llya A. Chernov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1105 (7), 2007)
"The study of sediment transport is complex, and in this book the authors aim to bring together the most recent research with which to present the updated theories of sediment transport. … the book to be a course textbook as well as a manual for engineers. … On the whole, the book accomplishes what it set out to do: present the most up-to-date theories of sediment transport." (C. E. L. Thompson, Geological Magazine, Vol. 145 (3), 2008)
