Krey’s early career included programming, code-writing, and compiling sediment transport software to interface with HEC applications. Krey has developed hundreds of HEC-RAS models for worldwide applications and recently supervised a 6-month benchmarking study on over 1,200 model runs comparing HEC-RAS 5.0 to TUFLOW, applying both steady and unsteady flows in 1D, 2D, and coupled 1D/2D models.
