HEC-RAS 5.0 Training Course at University of Arizona
Training Course: Flow Simulation Using HEC-RAS 5.0
Date: January 111-12th, 2016
Time: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Location: University of Arizona Campus, Tucson, AZ 85721
Cost: $600
Instructor: Jennifer G. Duan, PhD, PE, D.WRE, M.ASCE, Delbert Lewis Distinguished Professor, Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, University of Arizona
Course Description
This two-day intensive training course aims to prepare engineers, water resource professionals, and policy makers to use the newly added two-dimensional (2D) unsteady flow simulation tool in HEC-RAS model. Participants are expected to learn the fundamentals of 2D model, get hands-on tutoring on how to use the 2D module in HEC-RAS, practice on how to add 2D flow to an existing 1D HEC-RAS model, and develop graphic displays or animation of the simulation results. Besides examples provided in HEC-RAS model, examples of Arizona water course will be used as a part of the training material.
Biography of Instructor: Dr. Jennifer G Duan is an Associate Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, the University of Arizona. She is also an active registered Professional Engineer in the State of Arizona. She is an international renowned leader is developing two-dimensional hydrodynamic model for simulating unsteady flow and sediment transport processes in riverine environment. She has published over 50 papers in peer-reviewed international journals in the area of computational modeling of flow and sediment transport processes. Selected publications can be found at www.hydrosed.com. She has many years of teaching experience in open channel flow and computational hydraulics. To accommodate this short course, her research team has developed example cases originated from real engineering projects in the State of Arizona.
