A WDM Curvilinear Grid Model of Storm Surge Flooding

A wet-dry grid point method (WDM) with a generalized curvilinear computation grid is introduced with the aim of presenting a kind of effective numerical model for real-time forecasting of storm surge flooding. As the generalized equations are not limited to a specific co-ordinate transformation, a boundary-fitted grid generation method, which optimizes simultaneously grid smoothness, orthogonality and variation in cell volumes, is then proposed to meet the needs of WDM with a varying spacing grid. Details can be found in:
