Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Theory of the Hydraulic Jump and Backwater Curves, Vol. 3
It is possible to produce a change in the depth of flow, or in the elevation of the surface, by varying the cross section, either by giving the bottom an inclination or slope, or by changing the width. Friction produces a change somewhat analogous to a negative bottom slope. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
