3. Fundamental principles of fluid dynamics are illustrated through various examples in Fluid Dynamics and Hydraulic Examples of Surface and Subsurface Flows. Some individuals may have a preference for the practical aspects of different principles without focusing on the derivation details of equations. Others may be interested in both derivation details and their applications. Therefore, this resource caters to both audiences by including most derivation details as illustrative examples. Consequently, those uninterested in derivation details can skip them without disrupting the effective use of the resource. It serves as an effective educational tool for students and instructors (with an included solutions manual) as well as for professionals in the fields of fluid dynamics and hydraulics.

   In 1969, Vedat Batu graduated from the Civil Engineering College of Istanbul Technical Faculty (İstanbul, Tűrkiye) with combined B.S and M.S degrees in civil engineering. In the same year, he started as an instructor in the Hydraulic Engineering Division of the Civil Engineering Department of Karadeniz Technical Faculty (Trabzon, Tűrkiye). He earned his Ph.D. in Hydraulic Engineering from İstanbul Technical Faculty in 1974. His Associate Professorship thesis in Hydraulic Engineering was prepared in 1976-1977 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. After submitting his thesis and passing all required examinations, he was appointed as an Associate Professor (Doçent) in the Department of Civil Engineering of Karadeniz Technical Faculty in June 1979, where he worked as a faculty member until the end of 1982, eventually becoming the Chairman of the Civil Engineering Department. At the end of 1982, he voluntarily resigned from his position and moved to the US. After several years as a faculty member at Auburn University, he transitioned to the private sector in the US and primarily worked on environmental engineering-related projects. In Turkey and the US, he taught numerous courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels including hydraulic engineering, open channel hydraulics, hydrology, and ground water hydraulics for over 10 years. Since obtaining his Ph.D. in 1974, Dr. Batu has been involved in numerous scientific projects and has published several authored and coauthored papers in internationally-recognized journals including Ground Water, Journal of Hydrology, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, Soil Science Society of America Journal, and Water Resources Review. Dr. Batu has developed new concepts and approaches as well as many analytical and numerical models in the areas of aquifer hydraulics, vadose zone hydrology, and solute transport in aquifers. In addition to this resource, he is also the author of two books titled Aquifer Hydraulics and Applied Flow and Solute Transport Modeling. His original papers and books are cited and used as textbooks by many scientists and practitioners worldwide, and these can be viewed at http://scholar.google.com. Dr. Batu was appointed as a full professor in August 2008 in the Department of Civil Engineering of Yeditepe University (İstanbul, Tűrkiye). Currently, he is an employee of Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago, Illinois.
