Team Evaluation of Hydraulic Models
Mission: Evaluate selected hydraulic models to determine their capabilities and limitations in the technical area. The models will be tested for different data sets, providing a range of hydraulic conditions and different degrees of complexity. They will be reviewed against criteria to determine technical suitability.

Needwood Dam, June 29,2006
I heard the news (6 AM, MDT) about a dam in MD while I was in Boulder making a presentation at COMET
I called OHD, HYD group, asked for a DamAT run at 8:30 AM and requested the results by phone
It was 10:30 AM and I had no results. I called from the airport and found out:
The name of the dam was not the correct one
The location needed to be checked
The DRGs were not available (1 : 24000)

Needwood Dam, June 29,2006
At 11:30 am before boarding I was told results were about to be ready ( the same I requested at 8:30 am)
At 5:00 pm I arrived in Washington and went to visit the dam to take pictures and decided on using this case to test our ‘MOST” advertised DamAT.

Lake Needwood: Lessons LearnedTIME to compute results was UNACCEPTABLE
RESULTS were Questionable
DOCUMENTATION was NOT READILY FOUND
Field offices have not been trained and do not trust dam data
What is the bottom line?FACT: We are not close to be ready for DAMBREAK.
SOLUTION: We need to set a strategy to approach DAMBREAK

Applicability to DAMCATApplicability to DAMCATWhy not use HEC-RAS instead of DAMCAT?Why not use HEC-RAS instead of DAMCAT?
DAMCAT uses a simplified DAMBRK model (SMPDBK
No equivalent exists in the HEC-RAS family, so a full blown UNET model must be built and run.
This introduces all of the complexities of an unsteady model, the avoidance of which is why SMPDBK was developed.

IN SUMMARYIN SUMMARY
- The HEC-RAS steady flow component is simpler to use than FLDWAV and is well suited to hydraulic structure design.
- The HEC-RAS steady flow component is not applicable to unsteady flow computations such as NWS river and flood forecasting.
- The HEC-RAS unsteady flow component (UNET) has most of the capabilities of FLDWAV and all of the complexities inherent to unsteady flow modeling.
- HEC-RAS does not possess a simplified dam failure analysis procedure.
- HEC-RAS is not an NWSRFS operation.
- HEC-RAS is a windows-only application.

Classification of FlowsClassification of Flows
Froude Number:
Fr = V/√gD
Fr < 1 Flow is Sub-critical
Fr = 1 Flow is Critical
Fr > 1 Flow is Super-critical
Disturbance at the downstream end of a Channel …. Popagation of the wave
Sub-critical Flow : wave propagates upstream
Super-critical Flow : wave can’t propagate upstream.
