Abstract

In the present paper a vertically integrated coastal zone numerical model has been described for the simulation of storm surges and associated coastal inundation in Bangladesh. The model is a generalization of the earlier study [3] in which the fixed side-wall lateral boundary condition along the coast of Bangladesh has been replaced by a continuously deforming fluid boundary and includes the coastal topography in order to route the storm surges over the land. Numerical experiments are performed with the help of this model in order to simulate the surge generated by the November 1970 Chittagong cyclone. A comparison is made between simulations using models both with and without inland intrusion of water along the Bangladesh coast.
