Step 1: Read the manuals.
In HEC-RAS help you will find two interesting books. First is "User manual" with chapter "Performing unsteady flow analysis". The second is "Application guide", where the last chapter includes also unsteady flow application
Setp2: Look at the forums.
But not in the general scientific forum at Reserchers Gate. There are such forums, where people using HEC-RAS are discussing. Ask them more detailed questions. I can recommend HEC-RAS Users group in the LinkedIn or RAS Solutions portal.
The two references given by my colleague are good as you need to the theoretical basis of calculating "return period", of certain precipitation event/pattern "possible maximum precipitation, PMP" and "Possible Maximum Flooding, PMF". You need also to know the catchments, drainage pattern and types, soil characteristics, geomorphology and geology.
Dear A. M. Ebraheem, I'm affraid that you are writing about HEC-HMS. Using HEC-RAS doesn't require knowledge on "the catchments, drainage pattern and types, soil characteristics, geomorphology and geology"
Dear Tomasz Dysarz
You are correct, I was answering and having in mind the question of "Flood Hazard". Thank you for the correction. Kind Regards
You may have a look to such presentation in the link below. He applied the model for flood hazards or get in touch to the person:
