Description
Understand the basics behind onedimensional computational hydraulics in order to set up and apply HECRAS.
Many aspects of site development, road construction, or other civil projects ultimately involve the computational modeling of the flow of water. The Hydrologic Engineering CenterRiver Analysis System (HECRAS) is a widely used, accepted, and versatile openchannel hydraulics computational modeling software. It is universally approved by federal, state, and local agencies for a wide range of computational hydraulics applications. The steady onedimensional approach is often used in applying HECRAS. You will learn the basics of steady onedimensional computational hydraulics, including specifics utilized by the HECRAS software. It is essential to understand this basic theory of steady onedimensional computational hydraulics, in order to successfully set up and apply HECRAS, and interpret results. You will also learn how to navigate the HECRAS user interface, including how GIS information is accessed. The material will tell how to build an HECRAS geometry using digital elevation data, how to specify steady flow discharges, how to assign boundary conditions, how to execute a steady flow simulation and view the results. The ability to successfully apply HECRAS to model openchannel hydraulics is a skill that continues to be in demand.
