Numerical study on Storm Surge and associated Coastal Inundation for 2009 AILA Cyclone in the head Bay of Bengal
Storm surge from tropical cyclones leads to extreme coastal flooding along low gradient shorelines, barriers, and deltaic system. Typically low-lying deltaic environment comprises of soft sediments and are densely populated, and these regions are quite dynamic and changes in coastal geomorphology are quite rapid from impact of each cyclone. The horizontal extent of coastal flooding depends on factors such as cyclone intensity, wind speed, and onshore topography. One can expect the worst possible scenario of coastal flooding when the time of storm surge coincides with astronomical high tides. Flooding potential from storm surge is quite high for coastal regions in West Bengal, Bangladesh and Myanmar. High tidal amplitude (
