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
32 BUILDING STRONG®
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.

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

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.
