Online Class – Using HEC-RAS to Modeling Bridges, Culverts, and Floodplains

Hey RAS Users- This is a basic level steady flow HEC-RAS class.  That’s right, we start from the very beginning with HEC-RAS-steady flow theory, building 1D geometry, steady flow boundary conditions, and even introductions to RAS Mapper and 2D modeling.  I’ll be hosting weekly live sessions for this class to review the course material and […]

1D/2D Offline Connection Issues

Written by Chris Goodell | Kleinschmidt Associates Copyright © The RAS Solution.  All rights reserved.  I’ve mentioned this before, but I am thoroughly impressed with the robustness of the finite volume solution scheme used in 2D areas in HEC-RAS.  As long as your Courant Numbers are in a good spot, you rarely get errors and instabilities in […]

Very fine 2D Modeling

I’m a big fan of testing HEC-RAS to the limits.  What can it do?  What can’t it do?  These are questions we should all ask at the beginning of a project.  Can HEC-RAS actually prove to be a useful tool in answering hydraulic-related questions for our specific problem?  Shortly after coming to work at Kleinschmidt […]

McBreach Probabilistic Dam Breach Modeling Software

Fellow HEC-RAS modelers. Today is National Dam Safety Day.  Dam Breach modeling is a key component to a well-rounded and robust dam safety program.  If you’re doing dam breach modeling, you need to check out McBreach. Probabilistic hydraulic modeling is where we’re heading with dam breach analysis. Why not get a head start with McBreach. […]

Those Nuisance Cell Errors and Wedge Depressions

If you’ve been doing some 2D modeling, you most likely have run into what I call nuisance cell errors.  You see them while your model is running and they can really slow down your simulation as the RAS chugs through iterations to try to come to a solution.   The errors here are in the […]
