Arnold maintained a companion support area for Hubert Chanson's The Hydraulics of Open Channel Flow — An Introduction. The Queensland civil-engineering course the book was written for ran alongside a long-standing Arnold web archive of tutorial exercises, numerical examples, and field photographs keyed to the book's chapters.
What the support area carried
- Tutorial exerciseson uniform flow, Manning's equation, hydraulic jumps, stilling-basin design, and gradually-varied flow — problem sets with worked solutions aligned to each chapter of the book.
- Numerical example spreadsheets for backwater calculations and spillway sizing, suitable for adoption as starting points in student design coursework.
- Field photographsof real-world hydraulic structures — spillways, sluices, culverts, stilling basins — annotated to illustrate the flow phenomena described in the text.
- Extended references and a reading list for graduate students going further into turbulence, air-water flows, and the experimental literature beyond the scope of the introductory textbook.
Where the material lives now
Most of the current material for the book is maintained by the author at the School of Civil Engineering, University of Queensland, which is the authoritative source for current tutorial sets and solution keys.
