HEC-6, Scour and Deposition in Rivers and Reservoirs

Abstract

The purpose of this one-dimensional sediment transport model is to calculate water surface and sediment bed surface profiles by computing the interaction between sediment material in the stream bed and the flowing water- sediment mixture. The total sediment load is computed for each cross section along with the trap efficiencies for clays, silts, and sands. The change in bed elevation, water surface elevation and thalweg elevation are also computed for each cross section. Dredging and in-stream gravel mining operations can be simulated and reservoir deposition can be analyzed with the model. Software description: The software is written in the Fortran programming language for implementation on IBM/PC or compatible machines using MS/PC/DOS 2.1+ operating system. Memory requirement is 512K bytes. Math coprocessor (8087, 80287, 80387 or equivalent) is required. Hard disk is required in order to run the menu program MENU6.
