Abstract :
Kuala Lumpur city is located at the confluence of two rivers and are flood prone area. With rapid development and uncontrolled town planning, the city had experience several major flash flood incidents and have caused tremendous damage to country. This research describes a study made to model and simulate the flash flood incident that struck Kuala Lumpur on 10 June 2007 using 3D computer graphic and fluid simulation techniques. The aim is to examine the stability and effectiveness of this approach as a solution tool for environmental hazard studies. Particle-based method used to model the fluid objects using MAYA software. Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data and remote sensing imagery were used to model the study area. The main contribution of this study is the introduction of this approach to enhance realistic visualization for environmental studies thus enable better planning and countermeasures created to prevent the disaster.
