Abstract
The Yangtze Estuary is under frequent threats from typhoon-induced storm surge, which has paid attentions by coastal and environmental researchers. A storm surge–wave coupled three-dimensional model based on MIKE 3 FM and MIKE 21 SW FMis applied to investigate the hydrodynamic response in the Yangtze Estuary to typhoon. This model has been used to reproduce the storm surge generated by Typhoon Winnie (No. 9711) and the water surface elevations have been compared with the available field observations. The study shows that the coupled model with high resolution simulates the typical typhoon impactswell, and can be used to predict the processes of typhoon-induced storm surge in the Yangtze Estuary. The storm surge induced water level changes and wave conditions will be provided and discussed for evaluating the effects of the storm surge on several major sea dike projects in the Yangtze Estuary and the north bank of Hangzhou Bay.
