CEE 795Water Resources Modeling and GIS Lecture 7: HEC-RAS and Geo-RAS March 6, 2006 Learning Objectives: • Describe the HEC-River Analysis System (RAS) Model • Utilize HEC Geo-RAS to import data into RAS Assignments: Exercise #6 Handouts: Ras-example.doc
HEC-RAS • River Analysis System • Developed by Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) • One dimensional steady and unsteady flow analysis • Subcritical, supercritical, and mixed flow regime calculations
HEC-RAS cont. • Manual Data Input Required • stream centerline • cross sections • Manning’s “n” • flow data
HEC GeoRAS • Pre-RAS processor • Creates HEC-RAS input file • Input Needs • Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) • Land Use Data
HEC GeoRAS • Developed by Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) • pre and post Data Processor for the River Analysis System (HEC-RAS)
HEC GeoRAS • Pre-RAS processor • Saves time on data input • no manual cross section entry • no manual Manning’s “n” entry
HEC GeoRAS (Pre-Processing) Centerline Banks Cross Sections
HEC GeoRAS • Post-RAS processor • Accepts HEC-RAS output file • Output Formats • Creates floodplain TINs • Creates depth and velocity maps • Saves time on data presentation
