Resources for 2D Modeling

Now that we’ve had 2D modeling in HEC-RAS for almost 2 years, I’m curious to know what your favorite 2D Hydraulic Modeling resources are. Of course, for HEC-RAS modeling, the HEC-RAS 2D Manual is excellent, but what about for a more general discussion of 2D Hydraulic Modeling?  Books?  Journal articles? I like the Australian Rainfall […]

Wormhole Culverts

This is one of the coolest workaround ideas for HEC-RAS that I’ve seen in a long time.  One of my joys in teaching HEC-RAS to professionals and students around the world is seeing the clever ways that people use and apply HEC-RAS.  Whether in a training class, giving technical support, or just simply over discussions […]

Getting Profile Output in a 2D Area

Back in September 2015, I wrote an article on how to extractflow data from a transect in a 2D area.   This was a round-about way of getting flow flux data out of RAS Mapper.  Back then the beta version of HEC-RAS 5.0 was somewhat limited in the ways data could be extracted from a 2D […]
