QUESTIONS:

 

We'll talk about HEC-RAS for culverts on Friday. Ch. 6 of the HRM is most useful. We've covered quite a bit of it already, but please be prepared to answer the following:

1. Can HEC-RAS simulate flow through a horizontal or aversely sloped culvert barrel?

2. Describe the placement of cross sections for a culvert.

3. Does HEC-RAS use the 5th degree polynomial equations to calculate an inlet control rating curve?

4. The following quote is from page 6-17: "In general the higher of the two is used for the culvert portion of the solution, unless the program feels that inlet control cannot be maintained." What seems odd to you about this sentence?

5. Can HEC-RAS simulate a hydraulic jump inside of a culvert barrel?
