Two-Dimensional Hydraulic Modeling
TRAINING: January 20, 2026 - January 23, 2026 , 6:30 AM - 1:30 PM PT
Ohio LTAP is hosting a virtual 4-day workshop on Two-Dimensional Hydraulic Modeling of Rivers at Highway Encroachments.
This training provides a mix of lessons, demonstrations, and exercises for a comprehensive introduction to two-dimensional modeling concepts, including background data necessary to support hydraulic modeling parameters, mesh development, simulation parameters, model calibration, hydraulic structures, and reviewing two-dimensional model results.
Extracting hydraulic parameters for use in bridge scour evaluation is also discussed. Each concept is demonstrated, and participants are given hands-on exercises to apply what they have learned. Once all modeling concepts are covered, a comprehensive exercise is provided for participants to apply their skills on a project from start to finish.
Participants will receive a workbook that includes hard copies of presentation slides and step-by-step exercises. Electronic data needed for the exercises will also be provided. Following completion of this course, participants should recognize situations where two-dimensional modeling is preferred and use SMS to successfully compile, execute, and review results for an SRH-2D model on a bridge or other hydraulic structure project.
Instructors:
- Scott Hogan, PE, Senior Hydraulic Engineer, FHWA
- Alan Zundel, PhD, President, Aquaveo
This training is ideal for state DOT hydraulics personnel and other state, local or consulting engineers who have responsibility for, or desire to work with, the hydraulic analysis and design of highway river crossings.
Scott Hogan, PE
Mr. Hogan specializes in bridge hydraulic modeling and design, scour analyses, sediment transport, countermeasure design, and floodplain analysis.
He has spent his entire career working on hydraulic modeling, focusing on model application, new development, and training, and is a graduate of Colorado State University with a B.S. in Civil Engineering and a M.S. in Hydraulics.
Alan Zundel, PhD
Dr. Zundel is the President of Aquaveo and was the original manager of the SMS for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Dr. Zundel has a long history of model development and application for several 1D and 2D hydraulic and sediment transport models including SRH, TUFLOW, ADH, and others.
