Sediment Transport Dynamics

Sediment Transport Dynamics

This book focuses on the fundamentals of sediment transport in surface waters. It covers sediment properties open channel flows sediment particle settling incipient motion bed forms bed load suspended load total load cohesive sediments water-sediment two-phase flows hyperconcentrated flows debris flows wave-induced sediment transport turbidity currents and physical modeling. Besides the primary context of river sedimentation this book extensively covers sediment transport under coexisting waves and currents in coasts and estuaries hyperconcentrated and debris flows in rivers as well as turbidity currents in lakes reservoirs channels and the ocean. It includes a chapter on the water-sediment two-phase flow theory which is considered the basis of many sediment transport models. It introduces some special topics have that emerged in recent years such as the transport of mixed cohesive and noncohesive sediments biofilm-coated sediments and infiltrated sand within gravel and cobble beds. The text merges classical and new knowledge of sediment transport from various sources in English and non-English literature and includes important contributions made by many scientists and engineers from all over the world. It balances the breadth depth fundamental importance practical applicability and future advancement of the covered knowledge and can be used as a text and reference book. The chapters are arranged in a useful sequence for teaching purposes. Certain homework problems are prepared which also highlight the important topics for instructors to select. Solutions to homework problems are available from the author by request. | Sediment Transport Dynamics

Handbook of Radiotherapy Physics Theory and Practice Second Edition Two Volume Set

Handbook of Radiotherapy Physics Theory and Practice Second Edition Two Volume Set

From the essential background physics and radiobiology to the latest imaging and treatment modalities the updated second edition of Handbook of Radiotherapy Physics: Theory & Practice covers all aspects of the subject. In Volume 1 Part A includes the Interaction of Radiation with Matter (charged particles and photons) and the Fundamentals of Dosimetry with an extensive section on small-field physics. Part B covers Radiobiology with increased emphasis on hypofractionation. Part C describes Equipment for Imaging and Therapy including MR-guided linear accelerators. Part D on Dose Measurement includes chapters on ionisation chambers solid-state detectors film and gels as well as a detailed description and explanation of Codes of Practice for Reference Dose Determination including detector correction factors in small fields. Part E describes the properties of Clinical (external) Beams. The various methods (or ‘algorithms’) for Computing Doses in Patients irradiated by photon electron and proton beams are described in Part F with increased emphasis on Monte-Carlo-based and grid-based deterministic algorithms. In Volume 2 Part G covers all aspects of Treatment Planning including CT- MR- and Radionuclide-based patient imaging Intensity-Modulated Photon Beams Electron and Proton Beams Stereotactic and Total Body Irradiation and the use of the dosimetric and radiobiological metrics TCP and NTCP for plan evaluation and optimisation. Quality Assurance fundamentals with application to equipment and processes are covered in Part H. Radionuclides equipment and methods for Brachytherapy and Targeted Molecular Therapy are covered in Parts I and J respectively. Finally Part K is devoted to Radiation Protection of the public staff and patients. Extensive tables of Physical Constants Photon Electron and Proton Interaction data and typical Photon Beam and Radionuclide data are given in Part L. Edited by recognised authorities in the field with individual chapters written by renowned specialists this second edition of Handbook of Radiotherapy Physics provides the essential up-to-date theoretical and practical knowledge to deliver safe and effective radiotherapy. It will be of interest to clinical and research medical physicists radiation oncologists radiation technologists PhD and Master’s students. | Handbook of Radiotherapy Physics Theory and Practice Second Edition Two Volume Set
