Prof. P.K.Samee:
Why is important remark the importance of his works?
Because there are almost everyting
for every engineering problems principally for Fluid Mechanics
(mathematical and phisics analisys too)
There are a lot of very important and invaluable works of Prof. P.K.
Swamme, I was tinking publish all the abstracts of his technical works, but it is to big for
this Blog, then you can find at the address bellow.
Google Scholar citations of P.K.

There are a
two books ( the another is “Design of Channels”, see reference in this blog)

Description
This
authoritative resource consolidates comprehensive information on the analysis
and design of water supply systems into one practical, hands-on reference.
After an introduction and explanation of the basic principles of pipe flows, it
covers topics ranging from cost considerations to optimal water distribution
design to various types of systems to writing water distribution programs. With
numerous examples and closed-form design equations, this is the definitive
reference for civil and environmental engineers, water supply managers and
planners, and postgraduate students.
The
equation that helped to enginners around the world (included in WaterCAD and other software): Big Work !!!

Description
Direct
solutions of pipe flow problems are not possible because of the implicit form
of Colebrook-White equation which expresses the hydraulic resistance of
commercial pipes. The three basic and major problems encountered in hydraulic
engineering practice are the determination of pipe diameter, the discharge and
the head loss. The solution of these problems on the conventional lines
involves many trials and tedious computations. Some research workers have
proposed graphical solutions which have their own inherent limitations.
Reported herein are explicit and accurate equations for pipe diameter and head
loss and a closed form solution for the discharge through the pipe, based on
Colebrook-White equation. These explicit equations can also be utilized with
advantage in optimization studies of pipelines and water distribution systems.
