Recent studies strongly suggest the possibility of more frequent extreme events as a resultof the changing climate. These weather extremes, such as excessive rainfall, result in debris flow,river overflow and urban flooding, which can pose a substantial threat to the community. An eectiveflood model is therefore a crucial tool in flood disaster control and mitigation. A number of floodmodels have been established in recent years. However, the major challenge in developing eectiveand accurate flood models is the disadvantage of running multiple models for separate, individualconditions. Among the solutions in recent research is the development of combined 1D?2D floodmodeling. Coupled 1D?2D flood modeling allows the channel flows to be represented in 1D and theoverbank flow to be modeled in 2D. In order to test the eciency of the approach, this research aimsto assess the capability of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center RiverAnalysis System (HEC-RAS) model’s implementation of the combined 1D?2D hydraulic computationin simulating river overflow inundation. For verification, the simulation is applied to the Baeksanriver levee breach event in South Korea in 2011. The simulation results show similarities of theobserved data and the outputs from widely used flood models. This proves the applicability ofthe HEC-RAS 1D?2D coupling method as a powerful tool in simulating accurate inundations forflood events. |
