TWAVE Users Guide with Example Application to Oahu, Hawaii

Abstract

This Coastal and Hydraulic Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes the application of the TWAVE (Typhoon Wave) modeling package for the simulation of coastal inundation in island regions due to tropical cyclones. The models within TWAVE, the Microsoft Excel(R) interface used to run TWAVE, the steps necessary for preparing the input files, running the models within TWAVE, and visualizing the TWAVE outputs are described in this CHETN for the south shore of Oahu, Hawaii.
