This comprehensive book presents a collection of extended papers based on presentations delivered during the SimHydro 2017 conference, which took place in Sophia Antipolis, Nice, France, from June 14 to 16, 2017. The primary focus of the book is on selecting the appropriate model for applied hydraulics, encompassing a wide range of considerations, including the modeling and simulation of fast hydraulic transients, 3D modeling, uncertainties, and multiphase flows. By delving into both the limitations and performance of current models, the book explores the latest developments in new numerical schemes, high-performance computing, multiphysics and multiscale methods, as well as improved interactions with field or scale model data.

The book serves as a valuable resource for practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, and engineers alike, as it encompasses the latest theoretical and innovative developments in the modeling field. It showcases some of the most advanced applications in various water-related topics, such as uncertainties, flood simulation, and complex hydraulic applications. With its extensive coverage, the book addresses the diverse needs and interests of a broad audience.

The conference, organized by the International Association for Hydro-Environment Research and Development (IAHRD), brought together experts from around the world to discuss the latest advancements in hydraulic modeling and simulation. The papers presented at the conference covered a wide range of topics, including river basin management, urban drainage systems, hydroelectric power plants, and coastal engineering.

One of the key themes of the conference was the use of advanced modeling techniques to address complex water-related challenges. For example, researchers presented new models that can simulate the flow and transport of contaminants in water systems, helping to improve water quality and reduce environmental impact. Another important theme was the integration of different modeling approaches, such as physics-based modeling, data-driven modeling, and machine learning, to enhance the accuracy and reliability of hydraulic models.

The conference also provided an opportunity for researchers to exchange ideas and collaborate on future research projects. Many of the presentations highlighted the need for interdisciplinary research, combining expertise from different fields such as mathematics, engineering, and environmental science, to develop more effective and sustainable solutions for water-related problems.

Overall, the SimHydro 2017 conference was a successful event that contributed to the advancement of hydraulic modeling and simulation. The book that captures the presentations and discussions at the conference provides a valuable resource for practitioners, researchers, and engineers working in the field. It serves as a testament to the ongoing commitment of the international community to improve the understanding and management of water resources.
