2D Water Modeling – HCF Lunch & Learn

Bryson Price, a Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) and a water resources EIT, led a company-sponsored Lunch & Learn on 2D hydraulic modeling in HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System). He broke down how this advanced simulation method divides landscapes into grid-like cells to show how water flows across terrain. With detailed animations and real-world examples, Bryson explained how 2D models offer more nuanced and accurate results, perfect for complex floodplain analysis. HEC-RAS is the most common tool used for flood mapping, dam breaches, and bridge scour, offering flexible, multi-sided computational cells to map flow over complex terrain. Thanks to Bryson for making a complex topic both accessible and engaging!💧💧💧
