1 Hydraulic Modeling with HEC RAS Susan Cundiff, PE December 4, 2017

2 Overview Introduction to HEC RAS Computational Procedures Building a Model Example Projects

3 Introduction to HEC RAS U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center-River Analysis System HEC located in Davis, CA Download from: What does it do?

4 Why HEC-RAS? It is free! Easy to use 1D steady state model 1D and 2D unsteady modeling 1D Sediment Transport and Mobile Boundary Modeling Widely accepted software

5 1D or 2D? Steady or Unsteady? What questions are you trying to answer? Floodplain inundation boundaries? Structures Other considerations Available resources $$ Time Scour/Erosion Dam Breach analysis Available data Timing of flood Flood inundation Habitat Design Depths Velocities Sediment Transport

6 Computational Procedures Steady Flow

7 Computation Procedures Energy Losses, h e

8 Computational Procedure Conveyance Calculation Manning s Equation Q = KS f 1 2 K = n AR2 3 Where: K=conveyance for subdivision n= Manning s roughness coefficient A=flow area for subdivision R=hydraulic radius for subdivision Sf = slope of the energy gradeline

9 Building a Model Assemble Necessary Data Geometry Hydrology Sediment Data

10 Building a Model Assemble Necessary Data Topography Surveyed Cross Sections DEM Hydrology Gage Data HEC-HMS or other hydrology software Bankfull, Range of flows, etc Sediment Data Representative Material Appropriate transport equations

11 Building a Model Geometry File Topography Cross sections Alignment Hydraulic Controls Evenly spaced Energy Losses Perpendicular to Flow Channel Roughness Horizontal Variability Vertical Variability Expansion and Contraction Bridges/Structures I m not bad, I was just drawn that way.
