Abstract

A three-dimensional numerical model is developed for the simulation of storm surges generated by tropical cyclones off the east coast of India. Experiments are performed using wind-stress forcing data representative of the 1977 Andhra cyclone and the results are compared with earlier simulations using a depth-averaged model. The three-dimensional model incorporates a turbulence energy closure scheme and is fairly sophisticated in comparison with the depth-averaged approach. Even with the apparently more refined treatment of the frictional processes, there is no substantial difference between simulations performed with the two models.
