COURSE OUTLINE

This course has been developed to provide users and reviewers of flood models with an
understanding of the capabilities of a representative group of current spatially aware tools and modeling software for Advanced Flood Modeling. The course is centered on a
relatively inexpensive (but highly capable) pre and post processor (SMS) and its use to create and run the public domain hydraulic models HEC-RAS and Flo2dh. Copies of the
executables tutorials and support documentation for the hydraulic models will be provided on CD to attendees, together with a demonstration version of SMS.

COURSE PRESENTER

The course will be presented by Ted Rigby, a consultant with specialised interests in the fields of hydrology and hydraulics and their application in flood modeling. Ted has over thirty years experience in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling. and is a co-author, with Dr Michael Boyd and Rudi Van Drie, of the wbnm hydrology model. Ted is a user with some 15 years of experience with what is now called Flo2dh, a long term user of SMS and beta tester of the Hec-Ras program Ted’s experience spans the birth and development of modern computer based hydrologic and hydraulic software, providing a sound foundation for this presentation.
