By Md. Abdul Al Mohit Department of Maritime Engineering Graduate school of Engineering Kyushu University Fukuoka, japan June 2019 Abstract In this dissertation, the characteristics of cyclone which can strike in future due to climate change in the south-asian overpopulated country Bangladesh, has been investigated as well as the risk factors of storm surge and flood, caused by the severe cyclone have also determined. Bangladesh is one of the most affected countries as a consequence of climate change. Every year, due to different types of natural disasters thousands of people lost their lives. Among all these disasters, severe cyclone is one of them. As a result of this severe cyclone, the flood and the time afterward the flood hinder the nature. Moreover, recently, because of pogrom at least ten lakhs (one million) Rohingya refugees have taken shelter in the coastal region of Bangladesh. The government of Bangladesh is planning the migration of these Rohingyas to the newly emerged island “Bhashan Char” which is acute flood and severe cyclone prone region. Therefore, it is very much essential to know the risk factors of living congeniality in this island. In my research, for this region I have determined the alterations of the characteristics of the cyclones and also figured out the severe cyclones which can strike in future. To determine the storm surge, I have developed a non-linear numerical bay-river coupled model, which represents the accurate results. Overall, I have measured the risk factors of severe cyclones which can occurred in future in the south-east coastal part of Bangladesh like Chittagong and the new habitation of Rohingyas, also figured out the measures which can be taken by the government of Bangladesh to confront these disasters. In Chapter 1, the aim, objectives, background, and framework of the research were explained. Basically, this chapter is a general introduction chapter. In Chapter 2, reviewed the features of the storms in the Bay of Bengal such as landfall angle, Power Dissipation Index, Accumulated Cyclone Energy, cyclone genesis, seasonal activity, and so on. It is found from the analysis that the behavior of the cyclone is changeable due to climate change. The genesis of the present cyclone will move slightly upwards at lower latitudes in future. Besides, there is a seasonality of the present cyclone that will change in the future. Though the actual number of cyclone will be decreased but the accumulated cyclone energy will increase. In Chapter 3, cyclone strike rate for the Bangladesh coast and other coast of Bay of Bengal were investigated, The characteristic features of a cyclone like landfall angle, wind speed, central pressure, and translation speeds were investigated for present and future climate condition. In this analysis, it is found that the east coast of India is a prone zone for future cyclone but most of the severe cyclone strike the Bangladesh i coast. This phenomenon indicates that the east coast of India and the west part of Bangladesh will face the huge precipitation due to atmospheric depression. In Chapter 4, a non-linear bay-river coupled numerical storm surge model that incorporate the major river system of Bangladesh is developed, which can simulate the accurate results of storm surge. It is found from the analysis that the water level reduces near the junction area due to inland penetration. In the rainy season and the drought season, surge height is flactuated due to fresh water discharge through a river. In Chapter 5, FVCOM is used to simulate the surge and its associated inundation along the coast of Bangladesh. The model result is compared with the developed bay- river coupled model to find the preformance of bay-river coupled model. Both the model simulation results make a good agreement with the observed result. To find the dangerous cyclone, the cost effective bay-river coupled model is used. Finally, an inundation area is measured by FVCOM. In Chapter 6, storm surge inundation due to the future dangerous cyclone is investigated along the east zone of Bangladesh coast. The summerized characteristics of future severe cyclone were used to modify the present severe cyclone and investigate the flood risk. This study found that the future dangerous cyclone inundated 90% land of the Bhasan Char and 20% of the Chittagong airport area. This study also found that the present embankment of Bhasan Char is not suitable for flood disater prevention. This analysis of future disaster risk may helpful to the government of Bangladesh for the mitigation of future disaster risk and a good adaptation policy. In Chapter 7, the overall findings of the study were briefly summerised in this chapter. In addition, some recommendation were presented based on the limitations of this study. ii Acknowledgements First of all, I am grateful to the Almightily Allah, who keep me healthy to submit this thesis paper.
