  • Abstract:
    There is a need for a generalized water and sediment-routing computer model for solving complicated river engineering problems with limited data and resources. This program should have the following capabilities: to compute hydraulic parameters for open channels with fixed as well as alluvial boundaries; to compute water surface profiles for subcritical, supercritical and combinations of both flows without interruption; to compute and simulate the hydraulic and sediment conditions in the longitudinal and lateral directions; to compute and simulate the change of alluvial channel profile and geometry regardless of whether the channel width is variable or fixed; to compute the alluvial channel changes in the presence of highway encroachments and/or other man-made or natural structures; to compute channel changes in the presence of heavily sediment-laden flows; to compute bank failures due to the sediment activity in the presence of severe erosion problems. Most of the sediment and water routing models, such as the HEC-6, were developed for solving simplified one-dimensional alluvial river problems. Although there are some truly two- or three-dimensional models, they require extensive amounts of computer time and data for calibration. Thus, truly two- or threedimensional models may not be desirable for solving engineering problems with limited data and resources.
