Abstract

The method of characteristics, previously employed to predict two-dimensional tidal flows, is extended to examine wind-driven currents and storm surges. After the shallow-water equations used to model flow in coastal regions are given, modifications are made in two of the forcing functions to incorporate wind contributions. Two hypothetical storms are constructed and results are presented in a series of figures which show sea-level heights and velocity fields at various times as the storm progresses.
