Scale models in hydraulic engineering / J. Allen.

Fundamental considerations in model technique - Model experiments on weirs, spillways and sluice gates - The effect of engineering structures on the régime of waterways, with special reference to bridge piers, sluice-dams and spillways -Models of non-tidal rivers - Models of tidal rivers - Silt and salinity - Tidal models ofthe mersey, rangoon river, dee and parrett -General questions concerging the choice of scales for a tidal model - Tide-generating mechanism - Notes on some inestigations made in hydraylics laboratories in Holland, India, U.S.S.R., Italy, China and Ceylon -Model experiments on the stability of blocks, broken stone and sand - waves - construction of river models; devices for measuring depths and velocities - Model experiments concerning filters, earth dams (permeability) and stresses in dams - Appendices.
