Hydraulics and Hydraulic Design, authored by Prof. S. K. Mazumder and Shivdatt Sharma, is a comprehensive reference book covering both the fundamentals of hydraulics and the hydraulic design of engineering structures. It is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Civil and Agricultural Engineering, as well as practicing engineers and consultants.
The book is divided into two parts:
Part I – Hydraulics: Covers fluid properties, fluid statics and dynamics, closed conduit flow, open channel flow, sediment transport, dimensional analysis, hydraulic modelling, pumps and turbines, groundwater flow, and flow measurement.
Part II – Hydraulic Design: Focuses on the design of hydraulic structures, including storage works, spillways, weirs and barrages, canals, drainage structures, bridges and culverts, flood management, hydropower structures, groundwater and stormwater conservation works, and water supply and treatment.
The book serves as a valuable resource for academic learning and professional practice in hydraulic engineering
