Hydrodynamic
Modeling:
Applications in Stream Restoration and Flood Mapping
By
Dr. Keil Neff
Geosyntech
Knoxville, Tennessee
Abstract
This presentation will focus on engineering approaches in two types of water resources projects: 1) the utility of computational fluid dynamic models for stream “restoration” projects where channels are in disequilibrium and reference reaches are not relevant; and 2) the use of HEC-RAS unsteady model simulations for Probable Maximum Flood and dam break scenarios to facilitate updating flood inundation maps in the Tennessee Valley.
Biographical Sketch
Dr. Keil J. Neff applies principles in fluvial geomorphology, ecohydrology/ecohydraulics, water chemistry, biomonitoring/bioassessment, stream ecology, and aquatic habitat modeling to assess and successfully improve stream function. Currently, he is a Water Resources Engineer at Geosyntec Consultants in Knoxville, TN, and is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Tennessee. He is an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and serves on the River Restoration Committee in the Environmental & Water Resources Institute. Keil is a professional engineer licensed in Tennessee.
