Compound floods are becoming a growing threat in coastal cities against a background of
global sea level rise (SLR), and may cause increasing impacts on societal safety and …

Two new and novel techniques to efficiently represent channels in large-scale finite element
shallow water equation models are introduced. The first enables the discontinuous …

Coastal flooding models are used to predict the timing and magnitude of inundation during
storms, both for real-time forecasting and long-term design. However, there is a need for …

The inland propagation of storm surge caused by tropical cyclones depends on large and
small waterways to connect the open ocean to inland bays, estuaries, and floodplains …

Compound flooding, the concurrence of multiple flooding mechanisms such as storm surge,
heavy rainfall, and riverine flooding, poses a significant threat to coastal communities. To …

Inundation models represent coastal regions with a grid of computational points, often with
varying resolution of flow pathways and barriers. Models based on coarse grid solutions of …

Storm surge is a natural process that generates flood disasters in coastal zone and causes
massive casualties and property losses. Therefore, the storm surge inundation is of major …

The subgrid technique provides an efficient way to model coastal hydrodynamics using a
relatively coarse grid, but incorporating small-scale geometrical details into the coarse grid …

The widespread availability of high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEM), has led to the
development of subgrid numerical modeling techniques, based on Shallow Water Equations …

This accessible shortform book describes storm surge forecasting to enable port managers
and practitioners to forecast these and mitigate their effects. This is particularly useful as …
