What You'll Learn?

Fundamentals of 1-D river modelling using HEC-RAS
Build a 1-D river network
Enter steady and unsteady flow data
Perform steady and unsteady flow runs and learn how to interpret the results
Build a range of hydraulic structures
Run scenarios and calibrate your model

Who is this for?

Those wishing to learn the fundamental concepts of 1-D river modelling using the HEC-RAS modelling package

What You Need to Know?

There are no course pre-requisites but a basic understanding of open channel flow hydraulics would be useful

More details

Description
The modelling of flows in rivers using computer simulation packages is primarily undertaken to determine where and when floods will occur. The US Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis Software package (HEC-RAS) is one of the most popular river modelling systems currently in use and is available to download and use for free without the restrictions that some competing software packages currently have. In this step-by-step course I will show you how to build a 1-D river model using HEC-RAS. No prior knowledge of river modelling is required. The course is also designed for those with river modelling experience but who have not yet used HEC-RAS. You will build a river network, add structures to your model and run steady and unsteady flow simulations and then examine scenarios such as simulating climate change and creating levees. There is a course manual to accompany the classes which the user can download and work through independently or in conjunction with the video presentations. This workshop will enable you to gain the basic skills associated with 1-D modelling using HEC-RAS and as such will stand you in good stead whether you study river channel processes in academia or work in the river engineering industry.
Who this course is for:
Those wishing to learn the fundamental concepts of 1-D river modelling using the HEC-RAS modelling package

I have a BSc (1993) and PhD (1999) in Geography from the University of Nottingham, UK. For my PhD I undertook research into river erosion in Mississippi, USA. This project was sponsored by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). I subsequently gained a variety of contract projects associated with river engineering through both the USACE and US Department of Agriculture. After that I held a position as a Post Doctoral Research Associate in the School of the Built Environment at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. The research in this post was directed towards predicting and modelling blockages at structures such as culverts and bridges. More recently I worked as an undergraduate course lecturer in river geomorphology and open channel hydraulics at the University of Nottingham Malaysia campus in Kuala Lumpur. I currently work as a freelance river analyst and am based in Nottingham, UK.
