HEC-RAS Computer Workshop for Unsteady Flow Applications

Sponsored by EWRI, this HEC-RAS three-day seminar and computer workshop provides an opportunity for attendees with prior HEC-RAS modeling experience to learn unsteady flow application in addition to some advanced aspects of steady flow modeling. Numerous workshops throughout the three days will give useful hands-on experience in working with HEC-RAS. Raymond Walton, P.E., Ph.D., Martin J. Teal, P.E., P.H., and Todd Bennett, P.E. will serve as instructors for these seminars.

The seminar begins with an introduction to using the unsteady flow component of HEC-RAS. Additional lectures present unsteady flow theory, steps for developing an unsteady flow simulation, and procedures for creating a stable and calibrated model. Guidance is given for techniques on modeling bridges and storage areas in the unsteady flow environment. Students are shown the inline and lateral weir features that can be added in both steady and unsteady flow models. Workshops accompanying these lectures provide practical application experience in HECRAS unsteady flow modeling. New features in the latest release of HEC-RAS are also discussed as part of the class.

Seminars will be held in four locations over the next several months:
  • December 1-3, 2004 - Indianapolis, IN
  • January 12-14, 2005 - Colorado Springs, CO
  • February 2-4, 2005 - New Orleans, LA
  • March 9-11, 2005 - New York City, NY
