HEC-RAS
Hydraulic Analysis Components
The HEC-RAS system contains several river analysis components for: (1) steady flow water surface profile computations;
(2) one- and two-dimensional unsteady flow simulation; (3) movable boundary sediment transport computations; and (4)
water quality analysis. A key element is, that all four components use a common geometric data representation and
common geometric and hydraulic computation routines. In addition to these river analysis components, the system contains
several hydraulic design features that can be invoked once the basic water surface profiles are computed.
The basic computational procedure is based on the solution of the one-dimensional energy equation. Energy losses are
evaluated by friction (Manning's equation) and contraction/expansion (coefficient multiplied by the change in velocity head).
The momentum equation may be used in situations where the water surface profile is rapidly varied. These situations
include mixed flow regime calculations (i.e., hydraulic jumps), hydraulics of bridges, and evaluating profiles at river
confluences (stream junctions).
