(Accepted for publication August 23, 1982) ABSTRACT Shen, H.W. and Yen, B.C., 1984. Advances in open-channel hydraulics after V.T. Chows book. In: G.E. Stout and G.H. Davis (Editors), Global Water: Science and Engineer- ing -- The Ven Te Chow Memorial. J. Hydrol., 68: 333--348. Although Ven Te Chow was more well known for his scholarly contributions in the field of hydrology and water resources, his book entitled Open-Channel Hydraulics, published in 1959, has unquestionably been established as a classic book in hydraulics. In terms of thoroughness and extensiveness in coverage and information, it has not been surpassed by any of the open-channel hydraulics books published after 1959. Even today, nearly a quarter of a century after its publication, most of the material presented in Open-Channel Hydraulics still remains current and fresh. Nevertheless, within one generation, considerable advances have been made in the field of open-channel hydraulics. As expected, there have been numerous investigations into various aspects of open-channel flows, especially through the use of high-speed digital computers. Some of the significant advances in open-channel flow are briefly reviewed in this article, including: fundamen
