Abstract

Storm-surge simulations contribute key information to decisions with huge geographical coverage, future projection and socio-economical relevance

Available analytical solutions provide partial but exact benchmarks for unsteady wind-driven flows. These can be used as one means to verify the quality of numerical simulations of storm surges and to promote a unified and objective assessment of the simulation skills for coastal flooding

This avenue is undertaken here with application to three well-known open-source flow solvers for the shallow-water equations: AdCirc, D-Flow Flexible Mesh, and Telemac.

This extended summary outlines the assumptions, potentialities and outcomes of verification exercises addressing storm-surge modelling skills. It emphasizes the scope and significance of accurate simulations in view of the increased adoption of risk-based policies for coastal management
