Full-text available
The formation and evolution of tidal jet vortices over complex bathymetry were investigated using numerical modeling and in situ observation. Delft3D FM simulation on an unstructured grid system, complemented by field measurements using recreational drones captured tidal dynamics in the Uldolmok Strait, known for its strong tidal currents up to 6.0...

Generalizing the relationship between cyclonic features and storm surges remains challenging because previous studies have produced diverse results for different regions and historical events. We implemented Delft3D‐FM simulations and examined the synthetic effects of translation speed Vt and landfall angle α on maximum surge height (MSH) along an...
Article
The importance of public awareness in disaster preparation has been emphasized in recent studies (Burningham et al., 2008; Sermet and Demir, 2019). Advances in virtual reality (VR) technology and graphical processor units (GPU) enables simulation of real-world physics and simultaneous visualization within affordable costs. Owing to VR’s high immers...

Seabed deformation due to the fault failure have both a spatial variation and temporal history. When the faulting process initiates at a certain point beneath seabed, the failure spreads out to neighboring points, resulting in temporal changes of deformation. In particular, such a process induces tsunami waves from the vertical motion of seabed. Th...

A scalar transport model is developed by adding a depth-averaged advection-diffusion equation to Celeris Advent, which is a Boussinesq-type numerical model that utilizes GPU acceleration. The hybrid finite volume-finite difference method is used to guarantee numerical stability along with the high accuracy of the Boussinesq equation. The advective...

This paper describes a two-dimensional scalar transport model solving advection-diffusion equation based on GPU-accelerated Boussinesq model called Celeris. Celeris is the firstly-developed Boussinesq-type model that is equipped with an interactive system between user and computing unit. Celeris provides greatly advantageous user-interface that one...

Future storm-induced inundation risks were assessed by performing storm surge modeling based on Typhoon Maemi (2003) under the generic climate change scenarios proposed by IPCC AR5. The three physical factors governing the projected aggravation of inundation damage in a coastal basin (i.e., sea-level rise (SLR), direct runoff (DR) and tropical cycl...
Article
Unlike inundation from a tsunami, inundation originating from a tropical cyclone is rather complex since it is usually accompanied by torrential rain. Runoff in the vicinity of an estuarine outlet may thus incur additional inundation damage. In this study, a modeling system is proposed that considers the river discharge effect in addition to tides...
