HEC-RAS's finite volume solver involves tightly coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations. These calculations are highly interdependent – data from each simulated cell needs to ...

This project analyzes flow through a sluice gate in a rectangular open channel with a sudden expansion. Water surface profiles were computed using manual spreadsheet calculations and verified using ...

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (May 18, 2023) –The Institute for Water Resources’(IWR) Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC), located in Davis, CA, takes home the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Innovation of the ...

Dams offer numerous benefits to society, but their failure can lead to catastrophic floods, causing severe damage to both people and property. Simulating dam break events and subsequent floods is ...

This paper presents the impact of the choice of building representation techniques and hydrodynamic models on urban flood simulations using HEC-RAS 2-D for the Toce River physical model. To this end, ...

ABSTRACT: Flooding poses significant risks to communities in wetlands and densely urbanized regions, necessitating robust prevention strategies. This study focuses on the Canche and Liane watersheds ...
