Introduction
Computational modeling is integral to the analysis, design, and assess-
ment of river hydraulics. Finite difference, nite volume, and nite ele-
ment methods for modeling river ows are common. These methods
have advantages and disadvantages. In recent decades, the discontinuous
Galerkin (DG) method, or so-called discontinuous nite element method,
has received great attention in computational uid dynamics (CFD). The
DG method combines the advantages of nite volume and nite element
methods. In this book, the DG method and its application to shallow
water ows are introduced. A brief historical overview of the DG method ...
