Fundamentals of Open Channel Flow 2nd Edition

Grab attention with a clear, authoritative guide to open channel hydraulics: Fundamentals of Open Channel Flow, 2nd Edition by Glenn E. Moglen is an essential resource for students, engineers, and water-resources professionals seeking practical mastery of open channel flow, river and canal hydraulics, and stormwater conveyance.

This updated edition blends solid theory with real-world application, walking readers through core principles—continuity and energy equations, uniform and gradually varied flow, momentum methods, flow resistance and roughness, and flow measurement—so you can confidently analyze and design channels, culverts, irrigation canals, rivers, and urban drainage systems. Clear explanations are paired with worked examples and design-oriented discussion that translate complex hydraulics into usable solutions for practice.

Whether you work in civil engineering, environmental planning, water resources, or floodplain management, this book supports project-scale design and research across climates and geographies—from temperate river systems in Europe and North America to irrigation networks and stormwater systems in Australia, Asia, and developing regions. Its balanced emphasis on theory and application makes it ideal for classroom use and on-the-job reference.

Written in an accessible, professional voice, the text helps you build intuition for hydraulic behavior and equips you with analytical tools and practical problem-solving strategies. If you need a dependable, concise, and technically rigorous guide to open channel flow, Fundamentals of Open Channel Flow, 2nd Edition by Glenn E. Moglen belongs on your shelf.
