2D Unsteady Flow Modeling Directly Inside HEC-RAS

Why: Need a fast and robust 1D/2D Unsteady Flow Solution for Flood Risk

Management Type Analyses (Monte Carlo), Dam and Levee breaching Improved hydrodynamic modeling for complex river/floodplain situations

What: 2D Flow Areas are analogous to HEC-RAS Storage Areas

Multiple 2D Flow Areas in a single run Flexible Connections to 1D model elements

Directly Time Step by Time Step Coupled 1D/2D Computations inside of HEC-RAS Unsteady Flow Engine More Accurate overbank flow water surfaces and flow paths Faster than separate 1D and 2D programs combined

HEC-RAS Two Dimensional Flow Modeling Advantages/Capabilities

1. The ability to perform 1D, 2D only, or Combined 1D and 2D modeling 2. The 2D equation solver uses an Implicit Finite Volume algorithm.3. Can solve either 2D Diffusion Wave or 2D Full Saint Venant Eqns. 4. The 1D and 2D solution algorithms are tightly coupled on a time step

by time step basis (or even iteration by iteration).5. The software was designed to use Unstructured or Structured

Computational Meshes. The outer boundary of the computational mesh is defined with a multi-point polygon.

6. The underlying terrain and the computational mesh are pre-processed in order to develop detailed Hydraulic Property Tables for the Cells and the Cell Faces.

7. Mapping of the combined 1D/2D inundation area, and animations of the flooding can be done right inside of RAS, using RAS-Mapper.

8. The 2D flow computations take advantage of Multi-processors 9. 64 Bit and 32 Bit Computational Engines.

BUILDING STRONG®

Full Momentum vs. Diffusion Wave Example uses for Full Momentum:

► Flows with dynamic changes in acceleration (Rapid rise and fall)► Locations with abrupt spatial contractions and expansions with high velocity

changes► Waves bouncing off walls and objects, etc…► Detail solution of flows around obstacles, bridge piers and abutments► Detailed mixed flow regime: sub to supercritical flow transitions, and hydraulic

jumps (Super to subcritical)► Tidal boundary conditions (wave propagation upstream)► Super Elevation around Bends

Example uses for Diffusion Wave:► Flow is mainly driven by gravity and friction► Fluid acceleration is monotonic and smooth, no waves► To compute rough global estimates such as flood extent► To assess interior areas due to levee breaches► For quick estimations before a full momentum run

Unstructured/Flexible Computational Mesh

Irregular polygon outer boundary Grid can be unstructured (irregular) or structured

(rectangles), or mixed Computational cells can vary in shape or size. Cells can

have any number of sides (HEC-RAS: up to 8 sides) Cells must be concave HEC-RAS can handle orthogonal and non-orthogonal

grids, but orthogonality simplifies formulation and reduces compute time. (Grid orthogonality is where the centers of two adjacent cells are perpendicular to the face between them)

Cell and Face Pre-Processing Each cell, and cell face, of the computational mesh is pre-

processed in order to develop detailed hydraulic property tables based on the underlying terrain used in the modeling process.

The 2D Mesh pre-processor computes a detailed elevation-volume relationship for each cell.

Each face of a computational cell is pre-processed into detailed hydraulic property tables (elevation versus, wetted perimeter, area, roughness, etc…).

Computational cells can be partially wet. This allows the user to use larger computational cells, without

losing too much of the details of the underlying terrain. The net effect is that larger cells means less computations, which

means much faster run times. Additionally, HEC-RAS will produce more detailed results for a

given cell size than other models that use a single elevation for each cell and face.

Current limitations of the 2D modeling capabilities in HEC-RAS 5.0

More flexibility for adding internal hydraulic structures inside of a 2D flow area (culverts/gates)

Cannot currently perform sediment transport erosion/deposition in 2D flow areas.

Cannot current perform water quality modeling in 2D flow areas.

Cannot connect Pump stations to 2D flow area cells. Cannot use the HEC-RAS bridge modeling capabilities inside

of a 2D flow area. You can do culverts, weirs, and breaching by using the SA/2D Area Conn tool.

Conclusions HEC-RAS can now perform 1D, 2D, or combined 1D and 2D

modeling The 2D capabilities can be used for complex hydraulic

systems. The 2D modeling capabilities can handle subcritical,

supercritical, and mixed flow regimes. Wetting and drying of cells is extremely robust, due to the

implicit finite volume algorithm. The hydraulic property tables allow for a more accurate

representation of the terrain and results in fewer cells being needed to get accurate hydraulic results. Fewer cells equates to less computation time, which will allow users to model larger areas and longer simulation times faster.
