Want to simulate a time series of outflows for a dam? It’s easy. In Version 5.0.3 there’s a new feature called Outlet T.S. (Outlet Time Series) in the inline structure editor. Click the Outlet TS button and give your new time series a name. You might name it “Powerhouse” or “Fish Bypass” or something […]
*Update: Version 5.0.2 now does flow transects in RAS Mapper with profile lines. No longer necessary to use a 2D Area Connection to do this. A very common output request in 2D modeling is for flow over (through) a transect line. HEC-RAS 5.0 does not have a specific tool for extracting flow data along a […]
HEC-RAS allows for four different gate types that will compute the stage-discharge relationship of that gate for you based on the physical size/shape of the gate and a few empirical coefficients: Sluice Gates, Radial Gates, Overflow Gates (closed top) and Overflow Gates (open air). However, sometimes the built-in gate types don’t quite fit the gate […]
“Flow or Temp time series date is not sufficient to run requested time window.” This one has been around for a while, but it just showed up again on the Facebook HEC-RAS User’s Group, so I thought I’d show the fix(es) here. This applies to the new beta version of 5.0, as well as previous […]
