Project Description

Hydro Engineering is continuing a flood study completed by NAU Crown Engineering in the fall of 2015. The previous study used a flood simulation with HEC-RAS. From these models, the current flood prevention method and model containing a levee was analyzed. The HEC-RAS simulation provided one dimensional analysis of the flow of the river was only done in one-dimension. The client has asked for the study to be continued with a two dimensional simulation. The two dimensional study analyzes flow in the lateral and horizontal directions, which will provide more realistic results.
