NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF STORM SURGE INUNDATION AROUND TOKYO PORT DUE TO POSSIBLE MAXIMUM TYPHOON UNDER GLOBAL WARMING

Abstract

 A storm surge and high wave-induced inundation model is used in this study, which consists of the Myers-based typhoon model, a depth-averaged flow model, the wave model SWAN and inundation model using a CIP method. The model was validated by comparing the numerical results with the observed ones. Moreover, this study numerically examined the temporal and spatial distributions of water elevation and flow strucutre in Tokyo bay as well as the inundation around Tokyo port induced by storm surge and high wave under the intensification of typhoon due to the global warming.
