  Abstract: This Manual is intended to serve as a useful reference for people who engage in
  hydraulic modeling or who directly use the results obtained from hydraulic models. Early
  chapters provide a brief history of hydraulic modeling, outline strategies for designing mod-
  els, and explain the underlying concepts of similitude and dimensional analysis. Those con-
  cepts are applied subsequently to various situations, beginning with single-phase ﬂow of
  fluids; water and air are the fluids primarily considered in the Ma
