RAS Users: Please give this “Known Issues” report a read if you’re using Version 5.0.6. If you’ve been doing a lot of 2D modeling, it’s likely you have been affected by some of these. This link includes a document of “Known Issues” found in version 5.0.6 of HEC-RAS to date. The document outlines all of […]
One of the most anticipated new features soon to come in the next major version of HEC-RAS (Version 5.1) is the option of running unsteady 1D reaches with a finite volume solution scheme. This will be a fantastic addition to HEC-RAS. Gary Brunner recently gave me a brief overview of the new finite volume feature […]
In case you haven’t seen it, there has been a very popular LinkedIn discussion on the Hydraulic/Hydrologic Modeler’s Forum debating the advantages, disadvantages, and merits of HEC-RAS 5.0, TUFLOW, and DHI’s MIKE21. There was a lot of great information (and some misinformation) and insight provided in that thread. It is well worth the read. Some […]
In advance of the final release of Version 5.0 (hoping for this summer), HEC has released its 2D Modeling User’s Manual, written by Gary Brunner, the HEC-RAS Team Leader. This manual contains updates to all of the information that was put out in the previous guidance document, “Combined 1D and 2D Modeling using HEC-RAS” as […]
