Progress Report, Aug 9, 2011 UF Slosh modeling
We reran the Slosh system with the modified 10 minute averaged winds, taking the original OWI winds
and forcing both Swan and Slosh with these winds multiplied by 1.09.
For Hurricane Ike, on the Galveston basin, we got about 1 meter of increased coastal surge when forced
with wind only and about 1.8 meters when forced with winds and waves.
Original OWI wind forcing (30 minute averages) using Garratt drag formula.
Figure 2. Surge results with 10 minute wind and wave fields forced.
Difference between just changing the winds, 30 to 10 minutes. Increases the surge about 1.2 meters.
Figure 4 Differences between 10 and 30 minute averaged winds with wave effects included.
Figure 5. difference between solutions with wind forcing increased, no waves
