Solution, 12th line:
For the discharge, the scaling ratio is: Qmodel = Qprototype/25^(5/2).

Equation (15.2) : the first equality should
be : Sf = to/(r g DH/4)
.
Page 285
Last line: The definition of the total head
includes a '=' instead of a '+' sign. The correct definition is:
Total head: H = zo + d cos(Teta)
+ Alpha V^2/(2 g)
.

Equation (17.35b) must
be corrected. On the right handside, the bracket should be: (1 -
1/2... )^2 [instead of (1 - 3/2... )^2].

Equation (17.41) and
definition of X. The square root sign must be corrected in the
definition of X. New

Equation (19.10): the
correct equation is : d/s
=
0.0212 (sina)-0.11
(s/(h

Equation (19.11): the correct equation is : d/s
= 0.0301 (sina)-0.11
(s/(h cosa))-0.17
Pages 486-487
Equation (A4.5): the
correct equation is : d/s
=
0.0212 (sina)-0.11
(s/(h

boundary layer thickness
Equation (A4.6): the correct equation is : d/s

About Professor Hubert CHANSON
Hubert CHANSON
is a Professor in Civil Engineering,
Hydraulic Engineering and Environmental Fluid Mechanics at
the University of Queensland,
Australia. His research interests include design of hydraulic
structures, experimental investigations of two-phase flows, applied
hydrodynamics, hydraulic engineering, water quality modelling,
environmental fluid mechanics, estuarine processes and
natural resources. He has been an active consultant for both
governmental agencies and private organisations. His publication record
includes over 700 international refereed papers and his work was cited
over 2,700 times (WoS) to 10,500 times (Google
Scholar) since 1990. His h-index is 27 (WoS), 30 (Scopus) and 47 (Google
Scholar). Hubert Chanson is the
author
of twenty books, including "Hydraulic
Design
of
Stepped
Cascades, Channels, Weirs and Spillways" (Pergamon,
1995), "Air Bubble Entrainment in Free-Surface
Turbulent Shear Flows" (Academic
Press, 1997), "The
Hydraulics
of
Open Channel Flow : An Introduction" (Butterworth-Heinemann,

and Chinese (Hydrology Bureau of Yellow River Conservancy
Committee), and the second
edition was published in 2004. In 2003, the IAHR
presented him with the 13th Arthur Ippen
Award for outstanding
achievements in hydraulic engineering. The American Society of Civil
Engineers, Environmental and Water Resources Institute (ASCE-EWRI)
presented him with the 2004 award for the Best Practice paper in the
Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering ("Energy
Dissipation
and Air Entrainment in
Stepped Storm Waterway" by Chanson and Toombes 2002). Hubert
Chanson edited further several books : "Fluvial,
Environmental and
Coastal Developments in Hydraulic
Engineering" (Mossa, Yasuda & Chanson 2004, Balkema),
"Hydraulics.
The
Next
Wave" (Chanson & Macintosh 2004, Engineers
Australia), "Hydraulic

He chaired the Organisation of the 34th
IAHR World Congress held in Brisbane, Australia between 26
June and 1 July 2011. He chaired the Scientific Committee of the 5th
IAHR International Symposium on Hydraulic Structures held in
Brisbane in June 2014.
His Internet home page is http://www.uq.edu.au/~e2hchans.
He also developed a gallery of photographs website {http://www.uq.edu.au/~e2hchans/photo.html}
that received more than 2,000 hits per month since inception.
