17/19 Summary Study Area
Motivation . Cyclone Gonu, which occurred from June 1 to June 7, 2007, was the most intense tropical cyclone on record in the Arabian Sea. Numerical Simulation . Cyclone Ashobaa, 2015 is the last cyclone reach to the Gulf of Oman.
. Analysis of historical data indicates the possibility of more frequent intense Conclusion cyclones in future. . A coupled system of WRF-FVCOM-SWAN was employed and calibrated for the simulations of winds, waves and surges, resulted from cyclones Gonu and 18/19 Ashobaa, as two examples of intense and weak target cyclones entered the Gulf of Oman. Conclusion Study Area
Motivation . Approaching cyclones towards the coastline, wind wave becomes predominant. Numerical . Two way coupling of wave-circulation models leads to insignificant change of Simulation surge height. . Cyclone landfall in the vicinity of the Gulf of Oman can cause significant positive Conclusion and negative surges in the enclosed basin of Persian Gulf.
. Surge height is strongly dependent on the bathymetry and shape of the bays, 19/19 besides the intensity of cyclone. Thank You For Your Attention
