Abstract EN
The extraordinary flood had hit the residential area at Taman Raia Mesra, Gopeng, Perak, Malaysia, in November 2016.
The event illustrated how the river basin had been fully inundated due to the heavy rainfall and caused the overflow to this affected area.
It was reported that the occurrence became worst as the outlet of retention pond which connects to the river is unsuitable for the water outflow.
Henceforth, this paper attempts to evaluate the causal factor of this recent disaster by using a model developed from Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM).
The model also incorporated with the rainfall and stormwater in LABSWE™.
The simulation was commenced with the basic tests for model validation comprising turbulent and jet-forced flow in a circular channel, which resulted in a good agreement for both models.
The simulation continued by using LABSWE model to reveal the water depth and velocity profile at the study site.
These results had proven the incompatibility size of the outlet pond which is too small for the water to flow out to the river.
The study is capable of providing the authorities with a sustainable design of proper drainage system, especially in Malaysia which is constantly receiving the outrageous heavy rainfall.
