Information About
Most textbooks on sediment transport emphasize theories based mainly on the force approach. The sediment transport theories based on the energy or power approach have been largely ignored. This book provides in-depth coverage of the mechanics of sediment transport from the power approach. It also gives a systematic analysis and comparison of transport theories based on the force approach.
