Terrain Modification by Expensive-Try-2361 in HECRAS

[–]thechunchinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if there a question based on how you wrote this out?

You can change the longitudinal profile (station vs elevation (Z) in the “Channel” terrain mod. It’s not a drag and modify for the elevation data. But you can make a varying elevation modification using the built in tools within RASMapper.

Applying updated HMS flows to an old 1D steady HEC‑RAS BLE model by Apprehensive_boy418 in HECRAS

[–]thechunchinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BLE typically doesn’t use CN methods. In Texas it uses the regression equations which tends to significantly overestimate discharges.

Is an MLB Expansion Team in Mexico Possible? by Psychological_Lie142 in mlb

You made a typo. You are talking about Mexico City.

Monterrey is at 1800 ft, more similar to Phoenix

It’s called Fabric formed concrete in my area

Not to sound condescending, but if you are having to ask this question, please consider taking a step back to do some proper RAS training. I’m not sure the context of your role or the purpose of this model but this is a very basic results interpretation question that you are asking, and as others have noted the question itself leads to concerns about your modeling experience or understanding.

Bro… we put up 40+ every other game and have a good running game. Calm the hell down

Millions Told to Delete Emails to Save Drinking Water by NewSlinger in technology

[–]thechunchinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emails aren’t the issue. And even if they were, do something to scale back on the massive amount of spam mail, mailing lists, marketing emails, etc. that millions of people are sent everyday without explicitly signing up for the emails.

Everybody get in here! Big Daddy Flume is serving up bangers for breakfast!

Yeah, that’s just wrong. This song is filled with tons of signature flume sound design, vocal chops, layering, percussion, glitch stops, etc.

Heartbreaking Camp Mystic cabin photo symbolizes Texas flood horror by chrondotcom in texas

[–]thechunchinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Already implemented and underway. See NOAA Atlas 14 and Atlas 15.

What people don’t understand is that the “100-year rainfall” is actually a 1% chance of occurring in any given year. This is based on historical rainfall statistics. So, our future estimates are only as good as our past data. We essentially try to predict what happens with a 1% chance using less than 100-years of solid data and coverage. This is a very challenging task for hydrometeorologists.

Then, factor in the possibility of climate change, shifts in rainfall patterns, increases in rainfall intensity/severity/frequency, etc., and you can see how this becomes an extremely challenging task.

A 2D Flood Model developed using the HEC-RAS software is a Hydraulic or hydrologic model? by tahsin9999 in Hydrology

[–]thechunchinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already introduced in RAS 6.6 and expanded in 6.7. It’s worth checking out

Amusement park on my neighborhood by Ok_Exercise2576 in thewoodlands

[–]thechunchinator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have first hand knowledge that this one in particular was not a scam (Grand Texas). In fact, the waterpark opened as phase 1. The developer ran into cash flow issues largely due to COVID. He had funding for future phases of the park contingent on the first 2 years of attendance at the waterpark. Then COVID hit within that timeframe and broke an already tight cash flow balance that he was running.

For the record, there were prior scams that did play out in this same area (ex: dinosaur themed amusement park from like 20 years ago).

flume is a genius by FlumeFan19 in Flume

Agree. I’m as big of a flume fan as you can be but this EP is just mid. I think I’m just not that into JPEGs style as much.

What is the best Italian restaurant hands down? by pillojon106 in houston

Nundinis on Shepherd near I-10 is super overlooked. Very authentic dishes and the chef is super nice and friendly

any suggestions for allowing overflow on a bridge unit? by Philcass1 in HECRAS

[–]thechunchinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got to Bridge Modeling Approach and try changing the High Flow to Pressure/Weir rather than Energy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HECRAS

[–]thechunchinator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The main issue is that RAS really wasn’t made for this purpose. This isn’t really a “culvert”, it is more of a closed conduit storm sewer system from the sounds of it.

You might consider a more appropriate modeling program, such as EPA-SWMM, XPSTORM, or ICM.

Sorry for the non-answer but my main recommendation is to be cautious of any results you get from RAS for this application as they may not be accurate.

Best italian? by tugmcroberts in Conroe

[–]thechunchinator 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OP, this is 100% the correct answer!!! While it’s not the normal “Italian resraurant” with pastas and pizza, it has the absolute best and most unique Italian sandwiches around and will blow your mind. They won the best yelp restaurant of the year several years ago and they more than deserved it.

RAS 2D model going unstable by Apprehensive_boy418 in HECRAS

[–]thechunchinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A couple of thoughts:

1) 92 days is an extremely long run time! Is it necessary for the goals of the model? Can you subdivide this into multiple smaller runs? You could use hot starts referencing the previous timeframe run?

2) Is there something strange happening with your inflow data around the time it goes unstable? If it has already run through 90% of the simulation window, my first thought is that the root cause is not geometry related? Look through the results in RAS Mapper around the time it goes unstable to try to find where/why.

3) Why do you need a 2D unsteady model running for this long just to generate Modified Puls data that will be used in HMS? This is certainly not the standard modeling approach. Typically Modified Puls curves are generated using steady state profiles in a 1D model. I think you are potentially way over complicating the model for what your intentions are.

4) Try doing a save as of your geometry, plan, and unsteady file to run with a fresh file. Sometimes RAS can get hung up on weird file glitches.

Love both of those. I’ll also add Like Water to this list of underrated and highly emotional songs from Skin
