Introduction to 29th Hunter Rouse Hydraulic Engineering Lecture

摘要

It is with great pleasure that we are able to publish the following paper by M. Hanif Chaudhry, who was the recipient of the 2008 Hunter Rouse Hydraulic Engineering Lecture Award with the citation: "For over three decades of service to the hydraulic engineering community as an outstanding researcher, exemplary teacher, author of several widely used textbooks, and a highly regarded practicing engineer." The paper is a summary of the lecture presented at the 2008 EWRI Congress in Honolulu. The award recognizes outstanding contributions to hydraulics and waterways and traditionally includes not only a lecture but an accompanying paper in the Journal of Hydraulic Engineering.
