Take sessions at any time with unlimited access for 30 days on registration.
This on-demand course consists of 3 x 2 hour sessions and will address a range of sediment transport modelling topics, including mud and debris flow measuring capabilities that have just been added to both 1D and 2D modelling in HEC-RAS version 6.0. Attendees will work through setting up a sediment transport model in HEC-RAS, performing the simulation and interpreting results.
**This advanced course assumes you understand the fundamentals of HEC-RAS, with 1+ years of experience. We encourage you to complete the HEC-RAS Essentials Course first, as it will prepare you well for the advanced topics we will cover.

Pre-requisites
This advanced course assumes you understand the fundamentals of HEC-RAS, with 1+ years of experience. We encourage you to complete the HEC-RAS Essentials Course first, as it will prepare you well for the advanced topics we will cover.
Background
Eroding rivers and sediment-filled reservoirs pose an increasing threat to lives, environment, and infrastructure around the world. Register now for this this on-demand training where we cover the challenges and opportunities associated with mobile-bed hydraulic modelling, which has the potential to allow the prediction and mitigation of impacts associated with sediment movement.
Course overview
The course starts with a basic hydraulic model of a river reach.
You will then enter various sediment and hydrologic inputs necessary to run this as a sediment transport model, going over some of the different options in the program.
Execute the model and go through the different ways to examine and interpret the results.
Add complications by using “real” river cross sections.
Some of the more advanced features and optional capabilities of HEC-RAS will be demonstrated.
Topics covered
After this course you will have a good understanding of the following:
Typical applications of sediment transport models.
Input data required to perform sediment transport modelling.
HEC-RAS model capabilities and limitations.
New features including:
– Mud and debris flows capabilities
– Perform full blow sediment transport, erosion and deposition modelling to the 2D solver
– New 1D sediment features
Learning with presenters of this calibre will be valuable professional development for engineers, planners, geomorphologists, modellers, and others working around rivers and reservoirs.
Format
The course is delivered through units via the learning platform (LMS);
4+ hours of session recordings to view as many times as required in 30 days;
Pre-and-post-course materials to read through via the LMS;
Ability to access all the online course materials with unlimited course access for 30-days on signup;
PDF manual of the course. The manual is recommended for ongoing use and a downloadable resource;
Working models, downloaded from the learning platform before starting the course;
Exercises / homework to complete between sessions;
Pre-reading and viewing materials.
Preparation
Pre-course reading and video watching is encouraged.
To provide the best desired learning outcomes, set up in a quiet space with dual monitors (ie one screen with the session and the other with the software/exercise that attendees can work on simultaneously).
