River Flow Simulation Based on the HEC-RAS System

Abstract

This work considers the problem of river floods, and presents a computer solution that can be used to predict such a threat. The basic tool, called Hydrologic Engineering Centers for River Analysis System (HEC-RAS), and created by the US Army Corps of Engineering, is well developed; and the models created in the system HEC-RAS are quite realistic. For the purpose of solving practical national flood problems, simplified static and dynamic models of the river Vistula were created in the system HEC-RAS. Furthermore, in this paper, the results of the performed simulations for flood problems in the Vistula basin are presented.
