Abstract: This paper, written to mark ASCE’s 150th anniversary, traces the role of hydraulic engineering from early or mid-twentieth-century to the beginning of the twenty-first century. A half-century ago hydraulic engineering was ...

Abstract: Computational hydraulics has become an everyday tool in hydraulic engineering. Although a large number of problems can be solved on the computer, there will always be important applications that lie out of reach. The related ...

Abstract: In this paper, an approximate algorithm is proposed to eliminate false negative (gauge) pressures that appear during the analysis of a water‐distribution system. Emphasis is placed on the solution of the problem rather ...

Abstract: Education in civil and hydraulic engineering has undergone only evolutionary change in the past half-century. During that time the salary levels of civil engineers, including hydraulic engineers, have markedly decreased ...
