HEC-RAS Unsteady Flow Course
Course
Details
About:
HEC-RAS is one of the most utilized software programs in Civil Engineering. This two day seminar and computer workshop will prepare participants to use HEC-RAS for Unsteady Flow applications. Specific topics include: river mechanics and the unsteady flow equations; using HEC-DSS data with HEC-RAS; overview of unsteady flow modeling; data requirements for unsteady flow models; boundary and conditions; overview of model output; inline and lateral hydraulic structures; storage areas and storage connections; and trouble shooting. Each topic will be introduced with an overview of the underlying theory and equations that the program utilizes as part of its solution algorithm. Participants then will spend a significant amount of time completing hands-on workshops designed to familiarize themselves with that particular aspect of the program.
Prerequisites:
Participants must have a good background in open channel
hydraulics and be familiar with the HEC-RAS software. Basic HEC-RAS input
and output data requirements WILL
NOT be covered in this class. It will be assumed that you
already know how to use the software for performing a steady flow
analysis. Familiarity with the unsteady flow equations and numerical
solution techniques is desirable. Participants should be in positions
requiring them to perform complex hydraulic analysis
