Michael, can you add those scripts with links to the Wiki add ons? http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_AddOns those are very useful modules and they could save some people time re- inventing what has already been done, thank you, Helena Helena Mitasova Associate Professor Department of

We already did a method to derive river centerlines based on r.thin and a method to calculate cross sections (see the scripts). It is not a method to derive the flow line of the river, but you can calculate the center line of the river. For those you need a very precise water surface

About the interaction of GRASS and HEC-RAS we have developed a grass script named r.inund.fluv, that interpolate the results of a normal 1D river model and allows to obtain a 2D flooding maps. It works quite well and you can see documentation on the add-on web page

Thanks for all the replies. It seems that the best area I look at is making hydraulic modelling easier, particularly for HEC-RAS. I had an idea of developing a tool to do CFD-based 2D modelling (3D gets way to complicated!). Can anyone comment of the pros and cons of this approach rather than

Hi, I would love to see some tools for corridor mapping and analysis. I came across grass because of its r.profile routine when I had to do deal with a LIDAR survey of a 70 km x 400 m corridor for a path, but I was not able to do much with it. Here some links to examples of engineering that

Hi all I am looking for some advice for a master's thesis. My field is civil engineering (water, to be specific), but my interest is software and I'd like to do something that would support open source, and be fun for me, i.e. some programming. I've had a couple of ideas so far, e.g. grass
