“…It is used widely in aquatic and marine systems; from lakes to coastal seas and open ocean circulation, and has been applied in addressing problems ranging from physical and biological oceanography to more engineering perspectives (Elsässer et al, 2013;Passenko et al, 2008;Rasmussen et al, 2009). The model has been extensively tested in terms of its sensitivity to different processes and parameterizations in different scenarios for the Northern Adriatic Sea circulation (Bolaños et al, 2014), and the particle tracking module of this model also has been validated for trace metal dispersion contamination of Beaufort's Dyke, Irish Sea (Callaway et al, 2011). The model has been used for a full hindcast study for the Northern North Sea, including the Faroe-Shetland Channel, and it has been calibrated with current measurements (DHI, 2014).…”

“…MIKE 21 is an appropriate tool for modeling tsunami as it is a modeling system based on the numerical solution of two-dimensional shallow-water equations. MIKE 21 model has been widely used in researching marine environments, and it has been generally and scientifically acknowledged in the world (Bolanos et al 2014;Payandeh et al 2014). …”

Tsunami hazard assessment of Chabahar bay related to megathrust seismogenic potential of the Makran subduction zone

Tsunami inundation mapping is the first step in the development of effective evacuation plans for communities at risk. These maps also provide bases for land use planners in communities to reduce risk by locating critical facilities out of the potential tsunami flood plain. The Makran subduction zone, located off the Indian Ocean coasts of Iran and Pakistan, is an important tsunamigenic zone for the region. On the 27th November, 1945, it was the site of a major earthquake with a moment magnitude of 8.1 and killed about 4,000 people. This event is a proof that Makran coastal areas are unsafe since the tsunami is quite probable. The objective of this study was providing tsunami inundation and hazard maps in Chabahar bay which is located in South East of Iran and the northern coast of Oman Sea. Three different source magnitude scenarios along Makran subduction zone are considered and for each scenario, numerical modeling of tsunami propagation is performed using MIKE 21 FM numerical software. Because the Makran subduction zone is very close to the Chabahar bay, unstructured triangular mesh with a higher level of refinement closer to the area of interest was used so that the tsunami was not numerically dissipated. After analyzing the data obtained from the results, inundation maps were produced, and by combining these maps, tsunami hazard map was provided for the bay. Tsunami wave amplification has been observed mainly in the outer coasts of the bay where the uplifted rocky shore experience up to 18 m wave height. Chabahar bay omega form and two eastern and western headlands cause a considerable depreciation in tsunami wave. Longer distance of coasts within the bay is another reason of tsunami depreciation inside the bay. Based on the generated inundation and hazard maps, two flood zones are specified. The first zone associated with no inundation or low inundation on cliffy shores, and the second zone would experience extensive inundation on the coast of kenarak areas, areas with sandy beaches and gentle slope.

Wave, storm surge dynamics, and wave-current-surge interactions (WCSI) were investigatedby applyinga pair ofunstructured-grid-based modelsto Lake Michiganunder two strong wind events. The effects of wind field sources, wind drag coefficient bulk formula, and parameterizations of the bottom friction term were explored to understand lake dynamics.Two wave models were calibrated by using alternativewave physicssettings under the 2011 northeasterly wind event.Forced by the southwesterly wind event in 2013, the calibrated models using the atmosphere-ocean fully coupled Climate Forecast System Version 2 wind field were further validated. It is found that the northwesterly winds induced 0.57 m setup near the southwestern coast, whereas the southwesterly winds produced 0.28 m setup and-0.43 m setdown near the northern and southwestern coasts, respectively. The WCSImostly influencewaves and storm surgein shallow-waterareasnear coasts andislands throughdepth-induced breaking, currentinduced frequency shift and refraction, and wave-induced setup/setdown through wave radiation stress. Owingto the adoption of different discretization algorithms and bottom friction formulations,the modeled storm surge and waves exhibit some variationbetween the paired models. Even though the storm surge difference with and without WCSI is smaller than that between the two WCSI-coupled models, both circulation models adopt WCSI considering their consistent improvement on model accuracy under both wind events. The analysis of water transport indicatesthat wind speed, direction, and coastal geometry and bathymetry are also important factors instorm surge.
