One of the core areas of study in civil engineering concerns water that encompasses fluid mechanics, hydraulics and hydrology. Fluid mechanics provide the mathematical and scientific basis for hydraulics and hydrology that also have added empirical and practical contents. The knowledge contained in these three subjects is necessary for the optimal and equitable management of this precious resource that is not always available when and where it is needed, sometimes with conflicting demands. The objective of Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics, Hydrology and Water Resources for Civil Engineers is to assimilate these core study areas into a single source of knowledge. The contents highlight the theory and applications supplemented with worked examples and also include comprehensive references for follow-up studies. The primary readership is civil engineering students who would normally go through these core subject areas sequentially spread over the duration of their studies. It is also a reference for practicing civil engineers in the water sector to refresh and update their skills.

This comprehensive book is an earnest endeavour to apprise the readers with a thorough understanding of all important basic concepts and methods of fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines. The text is organised into sixteen chapters, out of which the first twelve chapters are more inclined towards imparting the conceptual aspects of fluids mechanics, while the remaining four chapters accentuate more on the details of hydraulic machines. The book is supplemented with solutions manual for instructors containing detailed solutions of all chapter-end unsolved problems. Primarily intended as a text for the undergraduate students of civil, mechanical, chemical and aeronautical engineering, this book will be of immense use to the postgraduate students of hydraulics engineering, water resources engineering, and fluids engineering. Key features • The book describes all concepts in easy-to-grasp language with diagrammatic representation and practical examples. • A variety of worked-out examples are included within the text, illustrating the wide applications of fluid mechanics. • Every chapter comprises summary that presents the main idea and relevant details of the topics discussed. • Almost all chapters incorporate objective type questions of previous years’ GATE examinations, along with their answers and in-depth explanations. • Previous years’ IES conventional questions are provided at the end of most of the chapters. • A set of theoretical questions and numerous unsolved numerical problems are provided at the chapter-end to help the students from practice pointof-view. • Every chapter consists of a section Suggested Reading comprising a list of publications that the students may refer for more detailed information.

Following a concise overview of fluid mechanics informed by numerous engineering applications and examples, this reference presents and analyzes major types of fluid machinery and the major classes of turbines, as well as pump technology. It offers professionals and students in hydraulic engineering with background concepts as well as practical coverage of modern turbine technologies, fully explaining the advantages of both steam and gas turbines. Description, design, and operational information for the Pelton, Francis, Propeller, and Kaplan turbines are provided, as are outlines of various types of power plants. It provides solved examples, chapter problems, and a thorough case study.

The favourable and warm reception,which the previous editions and reprints of this popular book has enjoyed all over India and abroad has been a matter of great satisfaction for me.

Fluid mechanics refers to the branch of physics that studies the mechanics of forces acting on fluids such as plasmas, gases and liquids. It is used in many disciplines such as geophysics, meteorology, chemical and biological engineering, mechanical engineering, oceanography, biology, civil engineering and astrophysics. It is classified into two parts including fluid dynamics, which studies the effect of forces on fluid motion, and fluid statics, which studies fluids at rest. Hydraulic machines work by utilizing liquid fluid power to perform their work, such as heavy construction vehicles. These machines generally pump hydraulic fluid to numerous hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors throughout the machine and it gets pressurized based on the resistance. From theories to research to practical applications, studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to fluid mechanics and hydraulic machinery have been included in this book. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
