LAB #1
TRIANGULAR OPEN CHANNEL
Page 1 of 10
Project File: LAB_1.PRJ
HEC-RAS input files for example problem with single triangular open channel.
Input data for open channel, copy cross sections, and interpolate cross sections..
Generate program files, perform analysis and review output. Discussion of output
formats available from HEC-RAS (e.g., charts, tables, figures).
Problem Statement: One river reach (River TREEO, Reach Main) discharges
into a downstream basin outlet. The peak discharge has been calculated at 50 cfs,
using other methodology for input into HEC-RAS. The reach is 800 feet long.
To Do: Prepare a backwater profile analysis along the creek.
