NRCS is adopting the Corps of Engineer's HEC-RAS (River Analysis System) for computation of water surface profiles. Use of the NRCS program WSP2 is being phased out as NRCS engineers become trained and experienced with HEC-RAS.

Hydraulic Information - It’s Important
• Water surface profiles
• Hydraulic Parameters
![Page 8: HEC-RAS Version 3.1 Overview Presented by: HEC-RAS US Army Corps of Engineers’ Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System Version 2.0 (Windows](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c00f1a28abf838ccabba/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Hydraulic Parameters
• Velocity
• Depth
• Shear
• Width
• Area
• etc
![Page 9: HEC-RAS Version 3.1 Overview Presented by: HEC-RAS US Army Corps of Engineers’ Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System Version 2.0 (Windows](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c00f1a28abf838ccabba/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hydraulic Computer Models: Why do we care?
• Direct Measurements: hard, expensive, dangerous
• Analytical: predictive
![Page 10: HEC-RAS Version 3.1 Overview Presented by: HEC-RAS US Army Corps of Engineers’ Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System Version 2.0 (Windows](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c00f1a28abf838ccabba/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Hydraulic Models Steady Flow
– WSPRO (FHA)
– WSP2
– HEC-2 (last one out in 1991)
– HEC-RAS (released 1995)
Unsteady Flow
– UNET
– DAMBREAK
– HEC-RAS
![Page 11: HEC-RAS Version 3.1 Overview Presented by: HEC-RAS US Army Corps of Engineers’ Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System Version 2.0 (Windows](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c00f1a28abf838ccabba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Comparison of HEC-2 and HECRAS
• Improved conveyance calculations.
• Mixed flow - supercritical, subcritical
• Bridge hydraulics - more options
• Culvert hydraulics - more options
• Junctions - both energy and momentum
• Others - interpolation, unsteady flow, more section definition, etc
![Page 12: HEC-RAS Version 3.1 Overview Presented by: HEC-RAS US Army Corps of Engineers’ Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System Version 2.0 (Windows](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c00f1a28abf838ccabba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Comparison of WSP2 and HEC-RAS
• DOS command line - batch jobs
• One dimensional steady flow
• Subcritical and critical flows
• No graphics
• Windows graphical interface for Win3.1, Win95/98, and WinNT
• One dimensional steady flow
– floodway encroachments
– unsteady flow
– sediment transport
• Subcritical, critical, mixed and supercritical flows
• Graphical display of all geometric data and output including 3D views
WSP2 HEC-RAS
![Page 13: HEC-RAS Version 3.1 Overview Presented by: HEC-RAS US Army Corps of Engineers’ Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System Version 2.0 (Windows](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c00f1a28abf838ccabba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Comparison of WSP2 and HEC-RAS
• Uses friction slope from upstream x-section only (i.e. upstream x-section represents entire reach).
• Uses average of friction slope from upstream and downstream x-sections.
WSP2 HEC-RAS
