Hydrodynamics of Free Surface FlowsModelling with the Finite Element Method\nAuthor(s): Jean-Michel Hervouet\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9780470035580, 978-0470035580\nSynopsis\nA definitive guide for accurate state-of-the-art modelling of free surface flows Understanding the dynamics of free surface flows is the starting point of many environmental studies, impact studies, and waterworks design. Typical applications, once the flows are known, are water quality, dam impact and safety, pollutant control, and sediment transport. These studies used to be done in the past with scale models, but these are now being replaced by numerical simulation performed by software suites called hydro-informatic systems. The Telemac system is the leading software package worldwide, and has been developed by Electricit de France and Jean-Michel Hervouet, who is the head and main developer of the Telemac project. .
