PUBLICATIONS

Cavitation,
by Robert J.Knapp, James W. Daily, and Frederick C. Hammitt (1970; reprinted in 1979)

Using a strong physical approach as its framework, this classic discusses the genesis and occurrence of cavitation as a hydrodynamic phenomenon, its effect on flow properties, and its effect on equipment performance. This comprehensive treatment has made Cavitation the leading reference on the subject. It has been widely quoted in the English- and foreign-language technical literature. Cavitation has been used as a text and as a reference for students enrolled in advanced fluid mechanics courses.
Price: $25.00

Estuary and Coastline Hydrodynamics, 
Edited by A.T. Ippen (1966; reprinted in 1982)

This book, which originally appeared as an Engineering Societies Monograph, is ideally suited as a text for teaching, and as an authoritative reference to near-shore oceanography and coastal engineering. The chapters were authored by distinguished professionals acknowledged as leaders in engineering and science.
Price: $29.00

Flowing Through Time: A History of the IIHR,  
by Cornelia F. Mutel (1998)

From its austere beginnings in 1920 as a small cubicle perched atop a concrete flume, the IIHR has risen to become one of the world's premier hydraulics research and teaching laboratories. In the process, IIHR has influenced our theories of water's flow and control, the research techniques and instruments that we use to investigate these topics, and the hydraulics community around the globe. Here, told in an engaging manner for the lay reader and professional alike, is the history of this laboratory, the directors and researchers who have shaped it, and the impacts that this "ivory tower" has had on our everyday life and our society.

Hans Albert Einstein: Reminiscences of His Life and Our Life Together, 
by Elizabeth Roboz Einstein (1991)

Hans Albert Einstein established himself as one of the twentieth century's experts in sediment transport. He also was the son of Albert Einstein, a fact that shadowed his life for nearly seven decades. In this memoir, Hans Albert's widow outlines what she knows of her husband's parents and of his first 55 years of life, and then describes her own life and their 14 years of marriage. The book includes descriptions of Hans Albert's mother Mileva and of Hans Albert's professional contributions written by scholars in the fields.
Price: $12.50

History of Hydraulics,
by Hunter Rouse and Simon Ince (1957; reprinted in 1980)

This comprehensive and detailed accounting of the history of hydraulics has become a classic and much-used reference in its field. Beginning with Mesopotamian, Chinese, and then Greek and Roman approaches to providing crops and settlements with water, the book traces the attempt to understand and control water's flow from our earliest empirical understandings through the rise and impact of experimental hydraulics, hydro­dynamics, and modern fluid dynamics. Heavy emphasis is placed on the personalities behind major concepts and developments. The book is richly illustrated with portraits of key individuals and with technical sketches and diagrams.
Price: $12.00

Historic Writings on Hydraulics,
by Hunter Rouse (1984)

In the mid-1950s Hunter Rouse, assisted by The University of Iowa Libraries and financed by royalties from his History of Hydraulics and other IIHR publications, set out to collect source material on the history of hydraulics. The results of this effort are outlined in this annotated bibliog­raphy which contains individual descriptions of the over 450 items in the collection, which has been described as being "...the finest collection...to exist on the history of hydraulics."
Price: $15.00

Selected Writings of Hunter Rouse Volume II, 
Edited by John F. Kennedy (1991)

For nearly half a century, the name Hunter Rouse was synonymous with excellence in hydraulic research, engineering, and education.  This former director of the IIHR(1942 to 1965) was also a prolific writer on a diversity of topics. This illustrated volume, a compendium of his writings in engineering hydraulics, the mechanics of fluids, education, the history of hydraulics, philosophy, and more personal subjects, spans the period 1925 to 1989. Together with Selected Writings Volume I, now out of print, the collection portrays Rouse's breadth of thought and effort from his earliest student days well into retirement.
Price: $30.00
