Learning objectives
Upon completion, the participant should be able to:
- Setup a HEC-RAS model
- Calibrate a HEC-RAS model
- Use HEC-RAS for hydraulic modelling
- Interpret results of a HEC-RAS model
HEC-RAS is a software program that models hydrodynamics of flow in a river and/or channel. It is used to determine if for a given discharge the flow exceeds the river bank levels. Flooding studies can be carried out to determine the flood extent and volume.
Prerequisites
It is expected that participants have good computer skills and basic knowledge of hydraulics.
