Hunter Rouse, Hydraulician: An Overview of His Work
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006: Examining the Confluence of Environmental and Water Concerns
Abstract
Hunter Rouse (1906–1996) is credited and admired as the exemplar researcher and educator who championed the application of fluid mechanics theory, and contemporary experimentation methods, to water flow processes in hydraulic engineering. This application, commonly called hydraulics, placed much of hydraulic engineering on a substantially more rational basis than had prevailed a century ago. This paper is an overview of Rouse's work.
