Hindcasting of Waves due to Typhoon in Nearly Closed Bay
Publication: Solutions to Coastal Disasters '02
Abstract
This study employs a wave model called the SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) as an estimating system for waves which cause coastal disasters. The SWAN is applied to reproduction of typhoon-generated wind waves in the Hiroshima Bay and the Osaka Bay, and the validity is examined through comparison between observations and predictions. The comparison showed that the SWAN gives reasonable results as a whole.
