HEC-RAS 1D for Hydraulic Modelling
Description
Description
HEC-RAS is public domain software developed by Hydraulic Engineering Center of the U.S. Army Corps of engineers. This program evolved from the known HEC-2 incorporating a few improvements, such as graphic interface, or the possibility of exchanging data with the Geographical Information System. It is a software designed to perform hydraulic 1D and 2D calculations on river channels either natural or man constructed. It allows steady flow, unsteady flow, sediment transport and water quality modelling. The HEC-RAS steady flow is based on one dimensional energy equation, while for the unsteady flow, HEC-RAS uses an implicit, finite difference method to solve the fully dynamic Saint-Venant equations.
The objective of HEC-RAS is to solve river dynamics and river engineering problems. Applications are delimitation of flood areas, embankment and protection work design, river restoration, emergency plans for dam break, optimization of hydraulic work and risk assessment and management. HEC-RAS incorporates various aspects of hydraulic modelling, including water surface profile computations and bridge hydraulics.
