Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. From the sixteenth century onwards, the study of hydraulics led to advances in understanding river dynamics. The author traces the development of the science from Galileo's application of the laws of falling bodies to the movement of water, and Torricelli's analogy between the dischar…ge of water from vessels and its velocity in open channels. The impact of Guglielmini, Frisi, Dubuat, and Chezy's discoveries are examined, along with the differing theories on river training and erosion control proposed by these scholars. This book also explores the relationship between tides and the sea's influence on river mouths, and charts the evolution of navigation techniques and technology from early mariners to the invention of the chronometer in the eighteenth century. By highlighting the importance of a standard datum, the author emphasizes the significance of collaboration and standardization in advancing our understanding of hydraulics and improving our ability to harness its power.
