Thanks for the reply. I have not considered super elevation. I don't think superelvation will be a large factor because most of the water will be going into the canal during irrigation season. I have numerous cross sections through each reach to try to accurately model the system. I expect to...
I am modeling an irrigation diversion in Hec-Ras. The diversion consist of a headgate located on an outside bend of the channel. Immediately downstream of the headgate is a pin/plank structure which will act as a grade control structure. There is about a .5' drop from the floor of the...
I am having trouble with a model in determining the appropriate value for the energy grade slope. HEC-RAS calculates the energy grade slope by simply solving for S using Manning's equation. However, if I check this value against the energy grade slope that I manually determine by calculating...
