Assessment of the Coastal Disaster Risks in Southern Vietnam

Track analysis, simulation, and field survey of the 2013 Typhoon Haiyan storm surge

“…The authors applied their own typhoon model (Takagi et al ., ) coupled with the fluid dynamics model Delft3D Flow (Deltares, Netherlands) in order to estimate the extent of storm surges in the Philippines due to the passage of Haiyan. The empirical typhoon model calculates both pressure and wind fields using parameters obtained from the TC track dataset, namely the central positions and pressures at every recording period.…”

“…The empirical typhoon model calculates both pressure and wind fields using parameters obtained from the TC track dataset, namely the central positions and pressures at every recording period. A numerical simulation of tropical storm Linda in November 1997 was performed to evaluate the validity of the authors' model, and the comparison between the results of simulation and observed levels at Ko Lak in Thailand shows the simulation to be accurate in terms of both the amplitude of the storm surge and the time of its occurrence (Takagi et al, 2012).…”
