Weir Equations in HEC-RAS

HEC-RAS has the ability to simulate flow at hydraulic controls in a variety of ways. Bridges, culverts, inline structures, lateral structures, and SA/2D area connections can all act as hydraulic controls.  Effectively, they break up the conservation equations used between cross sections in a 1D reach and/or cells in a 2D area with empirically derived […]

Pressure and Weir Flow

Here’s a video of pressure and weir flow yesterday at a bridge near my house.  This was brought on by some very intense rainfall over a short period of time.  What do you think the weir coefficient would be? ‘Tis the season in many parts of the world for heavy rains and high water.  This […]
