Abstract
This study estimated the storm surge and wave distributions of Typhoon Haiyan in Central Philippines by using a 2D parametric typhoon model, a one-layer long-wave-based fluid model, and SWAN. The simulation led at Tacloban that the storm surge waveform began with a trough due to north wind at the front of the typhoon and subsequently showed a quick rise up to 4m due to the suction-induced crest and the drift by south wind while the maximum significant wave height was about 2m. The spatial resolution can be critical in wave generation simulations for the typhoon with a very low central pressure and a small radius of maximum wind speed. The simulation with T1330-base model typhoons in Visayas showed that the storm surge can exceed 3m not only around Tacloban and Estancia.
