Looks at exciting developments in sophisticated numerical analysis techniques in the environmental sciences illustrating the application scope for such techniques.High resolution hydraulic modelling is becoming accepted as a standard research methodology by hydrologists, geomorphologists and engineers. As a consequence of the development of process understanding, numerical analysis techniques and computer power, there is now enormous potential to connect complex flow processes to the landforms they create in a rigorous, quantitative manner that has not hitherto, been possible.This volume provides an integrated coverage of this topic, outlining major research developments that have taken place. It begins with an introductory chapter on hydraulic theory, and then concentrates on high dimensional and high resolution approaches, detailing current research debates in hydraulic modelling. There is comprehensive coverage of application scope for such techniques including flow development, sediment transport, pollutant transport, catchment hydrology and landform development.This readable and accessible book provides an introduction to geomorphology students attempting to familiarise themselves with these exciting developments and also gives researchers invaluable articles illustrating the scope for high resolution hydraulic modelling and the fundamental scientific and philosophical problems raised.
