What You Will Learn:

This is a two-day workshop that will focus on the basic knowledge and applications of two-dimensional (2D) flood inundation modeling using the latest version of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS 6.3.1, which has been significantly improved and includes new analysis features. Some of these new 2-D modeling features include spatial precipitation and infiltration, 2D bridge Hydraulics, HEC-RAS Mapper Editing Tools, USGS Terrain Download, and many more.  Students will learn the basic theory and knowledge of 2D unsteady flow modeling and common applications. Learning-by-doing is the most effective way to learn techniques. More than five class exercises will be performed based on working through each key element step-by-step. The class exercises will be practically carried out by creating a 2D HEC-RAS model and delineating flood inundation extents. Every class exercise will be performed based on working through each key element step-by-step. The subjects that will be covered in this course are:

• Introduction of HEC-RAS 6.3.1 and understanding of basic 2D flood hydraulic modeling and application.
• Basic theory and knowledge of unsteady flow hydraulics.
• Create and run your first 2D HEC-RAS step by step.
• Editing your 2D computation mesh and cells.
• Considerations and limitations of developing a 2D HEC-RAS model.
• Combined HEC-RAS 1D and 2D routing.
• Inline and lateral Structures with 2D flood routing.
• How to stabilize and optimize the computation results.
• Reading and exporting modeling results.
• Flood inundation extents delineation using RAS Mapper.
• Modeling errors and troubleshooting.

Workshops will include creating a terrain model and computational mesh using RAS Mapper, setting up the initial boundary conditions, adding structures, stabilizing an unsteady flow model, and exporting computation results and mapping. This workshop is suitable for engineers, technicians and current HEC-RAS users responsible for flood inundation delineation and unsteady flow modeling and has been highly rated by hundreds of attendees.
