APPLICATION OF MIKE FLOOD MODEL FOR INUNDATION SIMULATION IN YEN BAI CITY

Tóm tắt

Flood is a natural disaster that can cause loss of life and damage to property. The objective of this study is to create a flood map of Yen Bai city, where flood occurs regularly during heavy rain and Thao River’s water level rises. The study used Mike Flood model based on the connection of 1D and 2D hydrodynamic models. The model parameters were calibrated and validated againts observed water level data of two major flood events in August 2008 and July 2009 which were measured by Bao Ha and Yen Bai hydrological stations, in addition with historical flood survey data in 2008. Flood map was developed corresponding to the alarm levels. The results show that the most affected areas by flood are 4 communes of Au Lau, Hop Minh, Tuy Loc, and Hong Ha wards.
