Book Reviews
Prof D.H. PEREGRINE, in
Jl of Fluid
Mech., 2006, Vol. 557, p. 473.
"Throughout the book the author’s enthusiasm for his subject shows.
Overall, the book lives up to its title. It forms a good
introduction
for an advanced undergraduate, or graduate student, and a guide to
further information for practitioner." (

"Overall
Environmental Hydraulics of
Open Channel Flows is a well written, clear and concise book
which will serve the intendend audience. It contains numerous diagrams
and photographs to illustrate key points. It stands alone from
Hydraulics
of Open Channel Flow: an
Introduction, unless the reader does not already have a basic
grounding in hydraulics."
Prof D.A. LYN, in
Environmental
Fluid Mechanics,
2005, pp. 987-391.
"This book contains some useful material for
different courses, and may provide an elementary reference."

Hubert
CHANSON
is a Professor in Civil Engineering,
Hydraulic Engineering and Applied Fluid Mechanics, at
the University of Queeensland,
Australia. His research interests include design of hydraulic
structures, experimental investigations of two-phase flows, coastal
hydrodynamics, water quality modelling, environmental management and
natural resources. He has been an active consultant for both
governmental agencies and private organisations. His publication record
includes over 550 international refereed papers and his work was cited
over 2,700 times since 1990. Hubert Chanson is the
author
of several books : "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,
1st
edition 1999, 2nd editon 2004),
"The Hydraulics of Stepped Chutes and
Spillways" (Balkema, 2001), "Environmental

2002) and "Fluid Mechanics for Ecologists. Student Edition" (IPC,
2006). His textbook "The
Hydraulics of Open Channel Flows : An
Introduction" has already been translated into Spanish (McGraw-Hill
Interamericana)
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
Structures:
a
Challenge to Engineers and Researchers" (Matos & Chanson 2006, The University of Queensland), "Experiences
and
Challenges in Sewers:

and
Uncertainty: Water in a Changing World" (Valentine et al. 2011, Engineers Australia).
He chaired the Organisation of the 34th
IAHR World Congress held in Brisbane, Australia between 26
June and 1 July 2011.
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.
