Description

This advanced seven-hour course dives deep into HEC-RAS modeling for design professionals. Topics of focus include the following: one-dimensional steady flow, unsteady one-dimensional open channel hydraulics, two-dimensional open channel hydraulics, and GIS basics. The course also includes numerous live demonstrations on building an unsteady 1D HEC-RAS model, a basic 2D model, a 2D model with connections and explores other considerations.
