  6. HEC-RAS Sediment Transport • Mobile Boundary Hydraulic Model • Captures Sediment-Hydraulic Feedbacks • Cohesive and Cohesionless Transport • Public Domain - 1D Model – Widely Applied • There is probably already an HEC-RAS hydraulic model of your system • Good at Depositional Sediment Modeling • Dredging Capabilities

  10. Classic Dredging Capabilities • HEC-RAS 4.1 followed HEC 6 • Allow user definition of time and extent of dredging configuration. • left/right extent and elevation for each XS • Only rectangular dredging cuts. • Instantaneous Dredging
