Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling hurricane waves and storm surge using integrally-coupled, scalable computations
J. C. Dietrich,Marcel Zijlema,Joannes J. Westerink,L. H. Holthuijsen,Clinton N Dawson,Richard A. Luettich,Robert E. Jensen,Jane McKee Smith,Guus S. Stelling,Gregory W. Stone +9 more
TL;DR: The resulting integrated SWAN + ADCIRC system is highly scalable and allows for localized increases in resolution without the complexity or cost of nested meshes or global interpolation between heterogeneous meshes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A High-Resolution Coupled Riverine Flow, Tide, Wind, Wind Wave, and Storm Surge Model for Southern Louisiana and Mississippi. Part I: Model Development and Validation
Shintaro Bunya,J. C. Dietrich,Joannes J. Westerink,Bruce A. Ebersole,Jane McKee Smith,J. H. Atkinson,Robert E. Jensen,Donald T. Resio,Richard A. Luettich,Clinton N Dawson,V. J. Cardone,Andrew T. Cox,Mark D. Powell,H. J. Westerink,H. J. Roberts +14 more
TL;DR: A coupled system of wind, wind wave, and coastal circulation models has been implemented for southern Louisiana and Mississippi to simulate riverine flows, tides, wind waves, and hurricane storm surge in the region as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of the Unstructured-Mesh, SWAN+ADCIRC Model in Computing Hurricane Waves and Surge
J. C. Dietrich,J. C. Dietrich,Seizo Tanaka,Joannes J. Westerink,Clinton N Dawson,Richard A. Luettich,Marcel Zijlema,L. H. Holthuijsen,Jane McKee Smith,L. G. Westerink,H. J. Westerink +10 more
TL;DR: This work examines the performance of the unstructured-mesh, SWAN+ADCIRC wave and circulation model applied to a high-resolution, 5M-vertex, finite-element SL16 mesh of the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana, validated through hindcasts of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Gustav and Ike and comprehensive comparisons to wave and water level measurements throughout the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
A High-Resolution Coupled Riverine Flow, Tide, Wind, Wind Wave, and Storm Surge Model for Southern Louisiana and Mississippi. Part II: Synoptic Description and Analysis of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
J. C. Dietrich,Shintaro Bunya,Shintaro Bunya,Joannes J. Westerink,Bruce A. Ebersole,Jane McKee Smith,J. H. Atkinson,Robert E. Jensen,Donald T. Resio,Richard A. Luettich,Clinton N Dawson,V. J. Cardone,Andrew T. Cox,Mark D. Powell,H. J. Westerink,H. J. Roberts +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution coupled riverine flow, tide, wind, wave, and storm surge model was used to examine the evolution of these hurricanes in more detail.

Hurricane Gustav (2008) Waves and Storm Surge: Hindcast, Synoptic Analysis, and Validation in Southern Louisiana
J. C. Dietrich,Joannes J. Westerink,Andrew B. Kennedy,Jane McKee Smith,Robert E. Jensen,Marcel Zijlema,L. H. Holthuijsen,Clinton N Dawson,Richard A. Luettich,Mark D. Powell,V. J. Cardone,Andrew T. Cox,Gregory W. Stone,H. Pourtaheri,Mark E. Hope,Seizo Tanaka,L. G. Westerink,H. J. Westerink,Z. Cobell +18 more
TL;DR: Hurricane Gustav (2008) made landfall in southern Louisiana on 1 September 2008 with its eye never closer than 75 km to New Orleans, but its waves and storm surge threatened to flood the city.
