Hey RAS Users. HEC just put out this very informative document that helps and guides the modeler with the decision between building a steady versus unsteady model, as well as when to go with a 1D, 2D, or 3D model. Modeler Application Guidance for Steady vs Unsteady, and 1D vs 2D vs 3D Hydraulic Modeling. […]
Mark Forest is one of the most knowledgeable H&H modelers I know. He’s also a very experienced RAS modeler. Here he discusses the benefits of the relatively unique subgrid bathymetric approach to terrain surface discretization that HEC-RAS uses, specifically on the topic of computational mesh cell size. Read this. Then read it again. This is […]

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 […]
Here’s an opportunity to have a direct impact on the development of spatial precipitation and infiltration methods in HEC-RAS. Please read the message from Gary Brunner, Lead Developer of HEC-RAS, and if you would like to provide feedback to his questions, please do so in the comments section at the bottom of this post. If […]
I’ve been seeing some cool applications of HEC-RAS from around the world lately. Here are some articles showing a few ways we’ve been putting HEC-RAS to use down under. Making Middle Zealand Did you know that the only thing keeping New Zealand’s two main islands from being split into three is a little 2-km wide […]
New geospatial editing tools are currently in development for the next version of HEC-RAS-Version 5.1. While no date has been set for the release of Version 5.1, it is expected sometime within the next year or two. But no guarantees! This will be an exciting new addition to HEC-RAS in that users will no longer […]
