description: The flow resistance of the existing modules in the bio-ecological drainage system (BIOECODS) is high and may lead to flood instead of its mitigation. As part of efforts to enhance the performance of the system, the river engineering and urban drainage research center (REDAC) module was developed. This study modelled the hydrodynamics of flow through this module using FLOW-3D and laboratory experiments for two cases of free flow without module (FFWM) and flow with a module (FWM) to understand and visualize the effects of the module. With less than 5 error between the numerical and experimental results, REDAC module altered the flow pattern and created resistance by increasing the Manning's roughness coefficient at the upstream, depth-averaged flow velocity (43.50 cm/s to about 46.50 cm/s) at the downstream and decreasing water depth (7.75-6.50 cm). These variations can be attributed to the complex nature of the module pattern with further increase across the porous openings. Therefore, the technique used herein can be applied to characterize the behavior of fluids in larger arrangments of modules and under different flow conditions without the need for expensive laboratory experiments. © 2019 by the authors.
