- Genetic Algorithms-
Sunday, June 22, 1:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Genetic Algorithm Workshop: Formulation and Effective Solution of Real-World Optimization Problems
This short course focuses on techniques for formulating and effectively solving real-world optimization problems using genetic algorithms. The formulation is a mathematical representation of the actual problem, in the form of an objective function to be minimized and a series of constraints that must be satisfied. The general process of formulating problems is discussed first, supported using examples from a recent Department of Defense optimization study related to management of groundwater contamination at three sites. Then an overview of genetic algorithm operations and theory is presented along with practical guidelines for their effective use. The guidelines will include simple rules of thumb that can be used to assess the feasibility of using genetic algorithms before any implementation begins and approaches for overcoming computational barriers for applications that require substantial computing time.

- Hydrologic Modeling System, HEC-HMS
Bill Scharffenberg, HEC
Thursday, June 26, 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
Participants will obtain an overview of methods for simulation of runoff from storm rainfall using HEC-HMS, Version 2.2. Emphasis will be placed on new features of the software. The objective of the workshop is to show the participants how to perform hydrologic analyses using computer program HEC-HMS in a sound and effective manner. The latest version's capabilities will be described as well as future capabilities. Methods for processing of historical and hypothetical (design-storm) rainfall data; estimation of losses (infiltration); transformation of rainfall excess to direct runoff with unit hydrographs; routing of flood waves; calibration of model parameters; and modeling of runoff from subdivided (i.e., multi-subbasin) watersheds will be described and demonstrated. Also, advanced hydrologic simulation techniques for soil moisture accounting, dam-breach simulation, and spatially distributed modeling will be described and demonstrated.

- River Analysis System, HEC-RAS
Gary Brunner, HEC
Thursday, June 26, 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Participants will obtain an overview of methods for simulation of river hydraulics using HEC-RAS, Version 3.1. Emphasis will be placed on new features of the software. The objective of the workshop is to show the participants how to perform water surface profile computations using computer program HEC-RAS in a sound and effective manner. Topics will include concepts of open channel flow, data requirements, basic input requirements, output analysis, application of bridge and culvert routines, importing GIS and HEC-2 data, and floodway determination. Both steady flow and advanced unsteady flow capabilities will be demonstrated. Also, new capabilities for dam and levee breach analysis, stable channel design, pump stations, navigation dams, and mixed-flow regime analysis will be discussed as well as a look at future directions of RAS development.
