Using a HEC-RAS Storage Area and Lateral Structures to Replace Standard Reach Junctions

Situation: Advances in HEC-RAS now allow for improved simulation of overbanks using 2D Flow Areas. Coupled 1D/2D models where 1D cross-sections represent the bank-to-bank cross-section data and 2D flow areas represent overbank areas has greatly improved the accuracy and robustness of HEC-RAS models. This is particularly the case in flat, urban areas with significant overbank […]

The Measuring Tool

I don’t think you’ll find this anywhere in the manuals, but HEC-RAS has a very convenient tool for measuring lengths and slopes in the Geometry window and just about any graphical plot. It only works in the geometry window if your RAS model is georeferenced, as it measures distances based on coordinates. However, in the […]
