Abstract
In this session we compare and contrast the results of the two most popular 2D hydraulic modeling software packages to the traditional 1D HEC-RAS model against actual recorded flow data to see which software package is the most accurate. The accuracy of various engineering assumptions made with a 1D analysis will be compared to the results of the 2D models.
