Abstract :

Comparison of experimental results and results that obtained in HEC–RAS software is made. A steady one dimensional mathematical model for simulating the flow and estimating the sediment transport capacity of the studied flume was implemented and run by using the HEC–RAS (Version4.1.0) software. In this study experimental data set of J.P Soni has been used to compute sediment transport capacity in HEC–RAS. Englund–hansen and Ackers–White functions which were developed using mainly flume experiments are applicable in J.P Soni data set. Using HEC–RAS, the computed sediment transport rates are in much closer agreement with the actual measured values of J.P Soni data set.
