A Numerical Investigation of Hurricane Induced Water Level Fluctuactions in Lake Okeechobee. Report 1. Forecasting and Design.
Abstract
PART I provides a brief introduction. PART II outlines the hurricane submodel theoretical development and numerical implementation. The theoretical development of the long and short wave equations is presented in PART III. Detailed numerical implementation of the hydrodynamic relations is given in PART IV. A seiche calibration and verification of the bottom friction mechanics in the hydrodynamics are developed independent from surface wind stress effects in PART V. In PART VI, the wind stress in the hydrodynamics and hurricane model is calibrated using the August 1949 hurricane. Both the planetary boundary layer and standard project hurricane windfield formulations are considered. In PART VII, the October 1950 hurricane is used to further substantiate the hydrodynamics employing the standard project hurricane approach. In PART VIII, Hurricane David is simulated with the present levee configuration again using the standard project hurricane approach. In PART IX, design hurricane conditions are developed. A representative levee breach is simulated under probable maximum hurricane conditions to demonstrate the model's capability to predict flooding potential. In PART X, major study results are collected, conclusions drawn, and technology transfer efforts itemized. Appendices A and B contain supporting tables and plates, respectively. Appendices C-G contain code listings and documentation. All appendices are in a separate volume.
