1 Quality Assurance Reviews of Hydraulic Models Developed for the Central Valley Floodplain Evaluation and Delineation Program Techniques Applied and Lessons Learned Seth Ahrens, P.E., CFM Selena Forman, Ph.D., P.E. ASFPM Conference June 3,
2 Outline Overview of the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Central Valley Floodplain Evaluation and Delineation (CVFED) program Development of the modeling and quality management criteria The quality assurance (QA) review process Custom tools developed by Atkins to facilitate the QA reviews Lessons learned 2
3 A Little Bit About Me Sacramento, CA Part of Atkins team supporting DWR QA reviewer of CVFED hydraulic modeling (mostly FLO-2D) Project manager for California Levee Database development Project manager for population of DWR s Library of Models Central role in the development of 6,700 miles of Awareness Floodplain Mapping 2015-Present Oakland, CA STARR II Region Service Center lead for FEMA Region IX 3
4 Overview of the CVFED Program Initiated by DWR in 2008 Develop foundational datasets, models, and tools associated with the State Plan of Flood Control to support State s flood management programs and projects Improve quality and accuracy of flood hazard data to help communities comply with recent legislative mandates in CA Develop new hydraulic models acceptable to FEMA and USACE Provide information to support future planning and project design 4
5 Overview of the CVFED Program Hydraulic evaluation of the Sacramento River system and the San Joaquin River system in the Central Valley Major products: 9,000 mi 2 of aerial photography 7,800 mi 2 of topographic data (LiDAR) 1,650 miles of 1-D modeling (HEC-RAS) 5,950 mi 2 of 2-D modeling (mostly FLO-2D, some TUFLOW) Field survey and bathymetric survey (5,500 cross sections total) 5
6 Overview of the CVFED Program Hydraulic Model Development DWR Program Mgmt. Quality Assurance USACE Quality Assurance CH2M North Sac River Basin Wood Rodgers South Sac River Basin HDR North SJ River Basin RBF South SJ River Basin 6
7 Thinking About Quality Management CVFED hydraulic models are large and complex Many models needed to be created and reviewed in a short time frame Desirable to standardize model development across AEC teams Desirable to have an organized review process Tools can be useful for flagging potential problem areas that may require in-depth review These tools enhance review efficiency and quality Today s talk will focus on FLO-2D 7
8 Development of the Quality Management Criteria Hydrology and Hydraulics Coordination Work Group (HHCWG) was created early in process Standardized approaches and techniques to be applied by the AEC modeling teams Established review processes to be followed by AEC teams (QC), Atkins (QA), and USACE (QA) 8
9 HHCWG FLO-2D Guideline Documents ARF/WRF Infiltration Model Documentation Depth Variable Roughness Initial n Values Overland Structures Embankments Limiting Froude Number Overlap Standards 9
10 The Quality Assurance Review Process Organized using CVFED hydraulic QA review spreadsheets Unique review spreadsheet for each model type HEC-RAS FLO-2D TUFLOW FLO-2D: 78 questions grouped into 9 topics Other model types similar 10
11 The Quality Assurance Review Process The FLO-2D QA review spreadsheet included 78 questions grouped into 9 topics Model Grid Channel Flow Street Features Boundary Conditions Overland Flow Manning s n Levees and Levee- Like Features Hydraulic Structures Area Modification/Flow Obstruction Calculations and Results 11
12 Sample Question from Spreadsheet 12
13 1-Dimensional Unsteady HEC-RAS QA Review Tools Developed tools to read the geometry file and model output to check the following and flag areas for more detailed review: Confirm stream centerline length corresponded to cross section stationing Compare lateral weir and storage area connection elevations with topography Check that user-specified lateral weir lengths corresponded to GIS layer Check storage area volume-elevation curves against topography Check that storage area minimum elevations were below the elevations of connected lateral structures Check lateral structure connectivity to storage areas Check storage area connectivity 13
14 Other HEC-RAS Review Approaches Review low-flow and high-flow water surface profiles for critical depth solutions and jumps/discontinuities Review energy grade line profile for any anomalies Review ground profile for large changes and appropriate modeling approach Check that bank station widths and elevations varied gradually along a reach Check that the active top width and velocity varied gradually along the reach Check that the flow is stabilized at the end of the warm-up period Review output messages for warnings such as: Computed water surface elevations below storage area invert Minimum error solutions Interpolated values above computed curves Unstable solutions 14
15 FLO-2D QA Review Tools Create output shapefiles and rasters Check elevations Check n- values Check embankment elevations Embankment hunter Check channels 15
16 Create Shapefiles and Rasters Representing FLO-2D Output FLO-2D Output Text Files Shapefiles and Rasters Output shapefiles: Output rasters: Grid cell layout ARF assignments Flooding extents Floodplain depths and elevations Hydraulic conveyance structures Floodplain velocities Levee-like structures Peak discharges NOFLOCs Ground elevations Width-area reduction factors n-value assignments 16
17 Output Shapefile Example 17
18 Attribute Table of Levee Output Shapefile 18
19 Output Raster Example 19
20 Tools for Checking Cell Elevations and Manning s n-value Assignments These tools computed the ground elevation and the n- value assignment for each cell and then compared them to what was in the model Both tools worked in a similar fashion in that they intersected the grid layout with the topographic data or the n-value shapefile 20
21 Checking n-value Assignments 21
22 Checking n-value Assignments 22
23 Embankment Hunter Modeling guidelines stated that all embankments with heights greater than two to three feet were to be included in the modeling This tool looked for steep slopes in the terrain and estimated embankment heights near these slopes Useful for confirming that all tall embankments were modeled 23
24 Embankment Hunter 24
25 Tool for Checking Channel Modeling Channels can be tricky in FLO-2D Channel tool created shapefiles of the channel features Channel tool created hydrograph for each channel cell (PDF) 25
26 Channel Shapefiles 26
27 Channel Cell Attribute Table 27
28 Channel Hydrograph 28
29 Sample Applications of FLO-2D QA Review Tools Point out high flow rates over levees Confirm levee elevations at levee junctions Color-code levees to show which were overtopped Point out unstable hydrographs Confirm channel alignment, cross section layout, NOFLOCs Confirm model captured embankments Confirm model captured hydraulic structures Confirm ground elevation and n-value assignments Confirm ARF/WRF assignments 29
30 Lessons Learned Models of this size are extremely complex Taking time up front to plan will pay off later Automated processes are not foolproof Additional layers of review provide benefit Custom tools can enhance review efficiency and quality 30
