    In this video, I dive deep into river engineering, focusing on how to accurately 2D simulate flood events. I begin by introducing the basics of Digital Elevation Models (DEM) using SRTM data, a crucial component in terrain mapping for flood modeling. From there, I'll guide you through the intricate process of mesh generation, unsteady flow dataset, and the importance of the courant number in numerical modeling to ensure stability and accuracy. Detailed step-by-step instructions will demonstrate how to set up your project in HEC-RAS 6.5, followed by running simulations to predict flood depth, velocity, and extent. You'll learn how to interpret these results to make informed decisions in flood risk management. Throughout the video, I'll provide practical tips and insights to help you master the software and the theoretical concepts.

Requirements

  • Basic Knowledge about Hydraulic, River engineering
