Numerical Modeling of Impacts of Different Coastal Processes on Inundation

As global climate change intensifies, coastal cities face increasing threats from inundation. Understanding and predicting compound flooding—caused by the interaction of various coastal processes—is essential for effective flood management. This research investigates the impacts of hurricanes, tides, waves, and precipitation on coastal inundation using advanced numerical models. By simulating different hurricane attributes such as moving speed, direction, and wind intensity, the study explores how these factors influence inundation patterns. Additionally, the research examines the roles of tidal variations, wave action, and precipitation in shaping flood severity. The goal is to provide a comprehensive analysis of these processes and their interactions to improve flood forecasting and mitigation strategies. Through detailed simulations, the study aims to reveal the dynamics of inundation stages and enhance our understanding of the factors driving coastal flooding. The findings offer valuable insights for coastal management and resilience planning in the face of increasing flood risks.
