scientimate.stormsurge1d¶
Eta, x, maxsurgeheight, L = scientimate.stormsurge1d(h0, U10, m=0, dispout='no')
Description¶
Calculate one dimensional storm surge using Dean Dalrymple (1991) method
Inputs¶
- h0
- Deep-water depth in (m),
- U10
- 10-min averaged wind velocity at 10 meter above a surface in (m/s)
- m=0
- Bed slopeNote: m=h0/L, where L is a length of the continental shelf in (m)
- dispout=’no’
- Define to display outputs or not (‘yes’: display, ‘no’: not display)
Outputs¶
- Eta
- Surge height along a x axis in (m)
- x
- Points on x axis in (m)x=0 located at a far-end of the water boundaryx=L located at a coastline
- maxsurgeheight
- Maximum surge height at a coastline (x=L) in (m)
- L
- Length of the continental shelf in (m)L=h0/m if m is not zeroL=50000 if m is zero (L=50000 meter for the hurricane Katrina)
Examples¶
import scientimate as sm
h0=42 #Example: h0=42 m for the hurricane Katrina
U10=40 #Example: U10=40 m/s for the hurricane Katrina
m=0.00084
