1 Problem statement

Vietnam is located in the region where the world’s largest storms in the Pacific NorthWest, occur frequently This is one of the main types of disasters and dangers inVietnam, Annually, about 6 to 10 hurricanes or tropical storms hit the country, Stormsand tide accompanied by heavy rain that causes coastal flooding In recent times along

With the effects of climate change, there are many strong storms and super typhoons in

the world causing great damages to people and properties, such as Hurricane Katrina inthe United States in 2005, Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar in 2008, Typhoon Bopha in thePhilippines in 2012, In particular, the super typhoon Haiyan in 2013 was the mostpowerful storm which hit Philippines with strong winds up to more than Beaufort scale17, caused storm surge up to Tm It killed! 6000 people and seriously destroyed localinfrastructure.

About 80-90% of the population lives in the coastal plains in Vietnam which are directlyaffected by the storms In the trend of climate change and global warming, the floodingproblem is becoming more serious in terms of quantity, frequency and intensity.‘Moreover, the occurrence of the typhoon: unpredictable

Every year, hundreds of people are dead or missing, and thousands of people are affectedby storms and floods Damages to houses, erops and socio-economic are worth upto tenbillions, Coastal areas which are densely populated with developed economics, andtourism are very vulnerable and are of very high risk These areas ate often threatenedby coastal erosion, dike breaching, flooding or salinity intrusion caused by storms.

In the context of global climate change, many researchers have warned that the storms

will occur more often, and more intensely with stronger winds and heavier rains andstorm surge is greater than by sea level rise Among the 13 largest super typhoons in theWorld from 1935 to now, 6 new storm occurred since 1998, including 3 hurricanes‘occurring from 2010 to now in the East Sea including Haiyan (2013), Bopha (2012) andMagi (2010) When the air pressure in the center of storm reduces, large wind oftencauses of storm surges which can lead to inundating coastal regions In addition, storm

‘Student: Tran Manh Link T Class: Niche B

surges can result in big wave when the storm transfer into the land, destroying sea dikesand coastal works This then increases the seriousness of the storm.

4) International studies on storm surge

Globally, modeling sea level rise by storms is stil being improved in the 21° century“That the storms caused storm surges phenomenon has been studied in areas of the worldWith different names such as: storms in North America, hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexicoand the East Coast ofthe United States; tropical storms in Europe; and typhoons in Asia

and Oceania In the first half of the 20" century, scientists have studied storm surges

With existing tools over time: from the simple empirical method based on sparseobservation (Conner et al, 1957; Harris, 1959) to the derivatives which are more‘complicated analysis tools for storms and sea basin, but the value is imited (Proudman,

1954; Doodson, 1956; Heaps, 1965) In the US, Congress has directed the research

instituion of the army and the Weather Bureau conducted in-depth research onhurricanes and storm forecasting methods after the immense damage tothe east coast in1954, This is considered as the beginning of a systematic study of storm surges in NorthAmerica (Murty, 1984) Before the developed model, the monogram was designed topredict surges whenever a typhoon landed on a beach, Conner and the other researchers(1957) has developed a simple model for calculating approximate peak coastal surges,then draw up the largest water-based monitoring pressure data observed at the center ofthe storm to determine the best surges envelope,

‘There are many methods and numerical models which have been used to quantify storm

surges One of the earliest guidelines developed for this purpose is the hurricane scale

Saffir / Simpson Hurricane scale Saffir / Simpson is oriented like a comprehensive

guide for the emergency rescue agencies use in case of a storm However, this approach,

does not reflect the impact of localized factors such as bottom topography changes,shoreline shape, obstructions or other factors to high surges in other locations togetherwhen the storm enter the land,

Harris (1959) have found a systematic variation of surges with two parameters: the‘minimum pressure at the center of the storm and 91.44 m distance from the center of theStudent: Tran Manh Link ? Class: Niche B

storm to the shore, but concluded that the slope of the continental shelf does not greatlyaffect the water level rise (Harris, 1959; Harris, 1963),

Harris and Telesnianski (1964) gave a two-dimensional hydrodynamic equationslincarized to calculate hydronamic tide when fluid uniform pressure is calculated by the

hydrostatic equation without the surface waves, Jelesnianski (1966) has used a system

‘of linear motion equations without bottom friction to calculate and concluded that theeffect of wind which is 4 times higher than air pressure to water level rise, The largestpeak water levels appeared to speed about 37 mph and the angle between the direction

of the storm moving and perpendicular to the shore line is 65°

Jelesnianski (1972) has used the size ofthe storm as a parameter in his monogram, Themonogram uses the monitoring results and the model number of SPLASH (SpecialProgram to List the Amplitude of surges from Hurricanes), Two versions of this modelare SPLASHI, SPLASH 2 which are developed for designated areas in the Gulf andAtlantic coasts Although Splash models offer the reliable high water level, but thelimitations ofthis model is only water level for coastal passages Straight shoreline andtopography with little variation, Jelesnianski has concluded that the slope of thecontinental shelf is the main factor affecting water level rise, He remains the wrongconclusion by Harris (1959) into the parameter “distance of 91.44 m of the line from theshore", so this factor does not resolve the variability of bottom topography Jelesnianskihas mistakenly concluded like other studies from 1950 to 1970 that the impact of stormsize to water level is relatively small, However, recently analysis of historical data ofthe storm along with model simulations demonstrated that the size of the storm hasplayed an important role in the generation of storm surges in coastal areas, particularlyespecially the super strong typhoon moved on very shallow waters (Irish et al, 2008),

In the years from 1950 to 1960, the water level calculation applies only to areas with astraight coa dine with little terrain change They are the basis for the design ofInfrastructure to avoid the risk of being destroyed by storm surge until the 1970s andmany are still in use today Since the late 1960s, high-speed computers allowdifferentiation of basic equations on the basis of calculation using structured mesh(usually 12 grid squares) in the 2D model (vertical integration) and then the 3D model.

‘Student: Tran Manh Link 3 Class: Niche B

This capability climinates the assumption of stable force balance in model (not suitablefor the rapid transformation of the wind in the storm), while the simulation is a balancebetween water flux and the changes in water level in the basin, In the 1980s, the modelSLOSH (the Sea, Lake, and Overland surges from Hurricanes) and NOAA were set and

forecasters still use to predict the water level rise This is a two-dimensional model

i (1992) completed to calculate and provide maps assessing insurance by

lA (Fe leral Emergency Management agency) and the US weather

which was developed to predict the instantaneous water level rise by the storms‘operating in the coastal waters of the Atlantic, but itis also applied in many parts of the

World b) Studies on storm surge in in Vietnam

In Vietnam, storm surge phenomenon has been studied since the 1970s of the last

‘century, Some authors and works featured include: Le Phuoe Trinh and Tran Ky (1969

- 1970), Nguyen Van Cu (1979), Pham Van Ninh (1982), Do Ngoc Quynh (1982), VụNhu Hoan (1988), Nguyen Ngoc Thuy (1989), Ta Dang Minh (1989), Le Trong Dao(1989), Bui Xuan Thong,

Do Ngoc Quynh and Pham Van Ninh (1995) in Project KT.08.06 had used manynumerical models with different numerical algorithms and developed up 7 finiteAifference schemes including explicit schemes on staggered grids, semi-implicit centraldifference scheme with smoothing, implicit schemes on staggered geids, characteristicmethod semi-implicit schemes on triangular grid and curvilinear grid These modelshave been investigated for their stability, conv 'gency, and accuracy compared to someanalytic solutions Their simulation speed and efficiency have been also investigatedFinally the implicit finite difference scheme with ADI algorithem has been selected Theresult has provided an overall picture about the possibility of surges has and ean happenfor each latitude along the coast.

Recently, some studies (Bui Hong Long, Nguyen Ky Phung Dinh Van Manb, Nguyen

Tho Sao, Le Trong Dao ) have calculated storm surges using 3D models using 16software either self-developed or commercial ones which numerically solve the basicsystem of equations in spherical coordinates horizontally and sigma stretch coordinatevertically.

‘Student: Tran Manh Link + Class: Niche B

‘The distribution of wind and air pressure fields in the storm are very important factorsin study of storm surge The accuracy of the forecast wind and barometric fields play animportant role in the precision of storm surge prediction, Most previous studies haveused empirical formulas to calculate wind and air pressure fields in storms However,

the wind and pressure fields calculated by these formulas cannot reflect the influences

of the terrain and the effects of air pressure patterns outside the scope of the storm Onthe other hand the value of the largest wind speed and minimum pressure at the centerOf the storm are often not achieved close to the actual value of the storm,

Currently in Vietnam, the calculation of surges and flooding due to storm surges have‘been made through the mathematical model or software such as MI 21 Flood(Denmark), Sobek2D (Netherlands), ctc Some examples are the reseach project

“Assessment of risk due to sea level rise in Thua Thien-Hue province and development

‘of decision support system”, preformed by Institute of Mechanics in 2010, the ProjectKC09.23/06-]0 “Assessment the variation of extreme sea water level due to climatechan support marine development strategy” by Univ sity of Science (VNU), or theproject “Estimating coastal flooding risk caused by surge in super typhoons” by Tran“Thục and collaborators carried out in 2014 These are usefull research rest is but still,lacking the level of det Is as well as low map resolution which are not met therequirements on specifie and details for disaster prevention when storms occur‘Therefore, more detail and more specific results of storm surge are nessesary as well asthe specific recommendations for natural disaster prevention ‘The research on stormsurges and the development flood risk maps duc to super typhoons are especially urgentinthe coastal province of Vietnam.

© Method to calculat storm surge

~ Statistical and field survey methods

‘The method is based on the statistical data of measured water level in the research areaand data on the storm occured at the same time From the statistical data, the correlationrelationships between storm data and water levels are determined for the study area, In

this method, field survey data is essential It is required to calibrate and verify the

‘Student: Tran Manh Link 5 Class: Niche B

accuracy of other methods, However, this method has just been applied to each area ofresearch and it also takes a lot of time to collect data

This is the traditional method to provide relatively positive results, The result of thisapproach is very important It builds up a database catering for the integrated assessment‘of water level in the research areas and to serve other methods,

~ Empirical formula methods

In this method, the height of storm surge above the average water level is calculatedaccording to the wind speed and the average water depth determined based on long-termaverage water level with or without the tide The formula has the form:

W?X cosp

as ghk

where: AS (m): Storm surge:

k=2.10-6: A coefficient, value can be adjusted;W (m/s): Wind velocity:

X (im): Fetch length;

@: the angle between the axis perpendicular to the shoreline and winddirection; and

h (m): Water depth.

If the wind speed is about 20 m/s, fetch Iength 100 km, the direction of windperpendicular to the shore, water depth is 20m, we have AS is about 0.4m, in the same\wind conditions, water level higher in smaller depth areas.

‘This formula for the biggest surges is highly probable because the parameters aredefined for stable conditions, Therefore, this formula is used to design because the resultis often greater to ensure the safety of the work

3 Study objectives

The main objective of this research is to develop a numerical model and to simulatestorm surges for North Central Coast of Vietnam The model will be used for severing

the predicting storm surge when typhoon occur in the future.

4 Approach and methodology

‘The study objectives can be achieved by using the numerical modeling approach withfollowing steps:

‘Collecting basic data including topographic data, bathymetric data, water level, wind

speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure and typhoon tracks The wind data,atmospheric pressure and water level data during typhoon periods can be collectedfrom Vietnam Hydro-Meteorological Services (HMS) which are necessary for model

calibration and validation, The typhoon tracks can be downloaded from Japan

Meteorological Agency (IMA), Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and the NationalClimatic Data Center (NCDC) These data include information on time, location oftyphoon eye, maximum wind speed, minimum central pressure, and the moving speedof typhoon centre.

Setting up a 2D hydrodynamic model to simulate water level for non-typhoon

condition The model will be calibrated and validated for tidal-only conditions using

observed water level

+ Setting up a 2D hydrodynamic model to simulate storm surge The model will be

CHAPTER1 PHYSICAL SETTINGSLL Geographic conditions

‘The North Central coasl is located in the northern part of Central Vietnam, starting at

south Tam Diep Mountains to northern Hai Van Pass North Central has an area of

approximately 51 552 km? including 6 provinces: Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tỉnh, Quang

Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien-Hue The northem North Central borders with northem‘moutains and the Red River Delta, the west borders with Laos, tothe south by the South

Central Coast, and the cast the Bast Sea

‘North Central Region is the transitional zone between the northern economic region andthe southern economic region The narrowest region is Quang Bình (50km), located on

the trans- Vietnam's traffie which has facilitated economic exchanges between the North

and the South To the west is the East Truong Son, bordering with Laos with 1,294 km

long border with the gate of Quan Hoa, Lang Chanh (Thanh Hoa), Ky Son (Nghe An),

Huong Son (Ha Tinh province), Lao Bao (Quang Tr), faciliating economic exchangeswith Laos and other Southeast Asian countries on the continent, Towards the East Seais the coastal route about 700 km, with lots of seafood and many deep-water port thatcan form the seaport North Central is a region with its strategic location that is very

important in fighting, national defense, and protection of the territorial integrity of

a narrow plain, and the western final is the midland mountains of northern Truong Son

‘mountain sierra, Overall the terrain of North Central is complex because the majority ofthe territory is mountains and hills, overlooking the sea, slope, water rapids, which often‘cause sudden floods, leading to difficulties for production and people's life.

1.3 Climatic conditions

North Central is located inthe tropical monsoon atea, so the climate is influenced by thetransition of the North and South During the year there are two seasons: The rainy withhigh temperature from April to October, and the cold dry seasons from November toApril of the next year In the rainy season there are many typhoons, high rainfall (over200 mm), and the summer is influenced by the southwest wind blowing from Laos whichTead to large evaporation and severe droughts,

North Central is the region where the climate is the harshest in Vietnam Annually, thereare more frequent natural disasters such as storms, floods, wind Laos, drought, but theunderlying cause is due to the location and the terrain structure, North Truong Son‘mountain range created walls that stop the winds entering to the North Central

~ Blocking the southwest monsoon, causing southwest wind that is hot and dry, blowingdown the coastal plain in the early rainy season (around May to July).

~ Blocking the Northeasterly wind, the humid air masses from the ocean (due to stormactivity topical convergence zone), causing heavy rain in many places.

‘The complexity of the climate leads toa large difference between the temperature of thewinter and summer The average temperature is about 24.25°C Climatic conditions ofthe region make it difficult for business activities, especially agricultural production.

1.4 Observation stations and hydrologic conditions

a) Hon Dau Station

‘The water level at Hon Dau is diurnal tide, There are about 25 days per month in which1 time the water level is bi and 1 time is low tide The tidal range at Hon Dau Stationbig, the great tidal range about 3m to 4m, At high tide the water level which is highestmeasured reaches 421cm (22/10/1985), the lowest level is -3em (02/01/1991).

‘The estuarine current area where around Hon Dau oceangeogaraphy directly affected bythe river (Cam River, Bach Dang river, Chanh River ) and tidal current River flows

have special influence on the general flow of the estuary In flood season, the water

upstream of the Bridge Ri „ River Trade, Lue Nam River, Red River through Duong.River and Luoc River go to the sea, under the interaction of tide and flood, the water is

pressed at high tide phase and when low tide create the resonance between the tidal

ccurrent and river flow caused huge flow rate

‘The current of coastal areas and estuaries Cat Hai have complex mode that showninteractions river - bottom topography - waves - tides.

‘The influence of wind and wave regime in the winter to Cat Hai coastal areas is not

large The current regime results from topography factor and fluctuating water levels

(by tides) In the winter, when waves and wind is relatively quiet, the current appears

mainly due to the tidal current and the deference of the water level due to water blockof tidal wave is comered when entering the shore However, inthe high tide days whenwaves and wind have east or southeast direction, coastal currents caused by the wavesassociated with different types of flows to increase (or decrease) in aggregate flowvelocity of coastal regions.

b) Sam Son station

Sam Son station lies within the scope of Thanh Hoa coastal area The tidal mode is mostdiumal tide prevails Every day, having there are L-time with high water level and 1-time with Jow water level, which take place most days of the month (an average month,‘Student: Tran Manh Link m4 Class: Niche B

the are 2 tide cycles, cach of which lasts for 14 days) Every month there is a tidalcycle up and down for about 25 days and one day also for a top tide and a bottom tide.Average tidal height in high tide period is about 1.2 to 1.5m, Tidal current speed aroundSam Son Station is quite large.

- Wave

‘Thanh Hoa coast is relatively straight towards the northeast to the southwest / south Without, external shielding island, the coast has low slope, which leads to waves,with long momentum entering the coastal without any obstruction causing strong impact,‘on the coastal or shore protection works.

north-In the winter, from September until March next year, the waves are very rough with‘waves with a height from 0.8m to Im and maximum up to 2.0m to 2.5m Wave period

is from 75 to 10s, Prevailing wave direction is northeast to the shoreline which creates 4variable angle from 30? - 45°, the frequency is 40% In October and November wave

combine high tide threatens beaches and shore protection works.

In summer, from May (o October, there are ver y few days high waves, But in thesummer, severe storms often occur causing significant damage to the coast and shore

protection works The average wave height is from 0.6 - 0.7m, maximum up to 3.0 ~

3.5m From June to August the prevailing wave southwest direction and wave height(0.6- 0.7m, Most of the summer storms hitting the coast of northern and central provincesare affecting the coast in North Central coast, accompanying typhoon is storm surgesand swells phenomena, When a big storm hit the wave height may reach about 6m.

~ Currents

In the Gulf of Tonkin, the cold water runs to the east after that combining with warmwater flow back to the north, They make a reverse cycle clockwise, Due to thecirculation of the Gulf of Tonkin the seas area around Sam Son station is affected by the

cold water flow towards southwest and south

In cold season: Northeast monsoon and the transitional period the general circulation ofthe Gulf of Tonkin in general and in particular of North Central coastal, coastal currents

‘Student: Tran Manh Link 15 Class: Niche B

direction north - south (along the North Central coast to the south) Ocean intensity inthis season is enhanced by control of the northeast monsoon, depending on the strength‘or weakness, continuous or interrupted, which leads to the intensity of ocean rise or fall

In hot season: Due to the influence of the southwest wind, coastal currents have oppositedirection compared to the cold season, but the intensity is lower February to March,North Central often have whirlpool and are concentrated in the north, but in July thisphenomenon going to down the south,

1.5 Historical disasters of typhoons and storm surges

In recent times, under the effects of climate change, there have been many strong stormssuch as Hurricane Katrina hit the United States in 2005, Cyclone Nargis hit Myanmarin 2008, typhoon Bopha hit the Philippines in 2012, hurricanes, eausing great losses oflives and property In particular, the super typhoon Haiyan in 2013 was the most

powerful storm whi ‘n hit the Philippines with strong winds on level 17 and the waterheight up to 7m The storm killed more than 6,000 people and seriously destroyed

Vietnam has more than 3600km coastal line, and the country is located inthe zone whichis directly affected by typhoons that are formed in the Western Pacific and Bast SeaAccording to the data of Disaster Management Unit of project UNDP VIE/97/002 atVietnam, storms begin on early June on the North and are going down to the South inDecember The number of typhoons also decreases from the North to the South,

From 1954 to now, there are about 30 storms occurring in the Western Pacific each year,

i ng in the East Sea and 4 or 6 typhoons directly affectingcluding about 10 stonVietnam, There are some years when the hurricane hits Vietnam with more than 10storms such as: 1964 (18 storms), 1973 (12 storms), 1978 (12 storms), 1989 (10 storms)and 1996 (10 storms) Typically, the storm hit northern and central Vietnam, the typhoonhit the southern is less.

Hurricane in coastal estuary area often causes high waves, strong winds, and surgessuch as breaking embankments, homes, bed In the past, the Damrey storm with storm

surge more than 2m in Nam Dinh caused significant damage to the dike system and the

‘Student: Tran Manh Link 16 Class: Niche B

lives and livelihoods in the region In the area study and the next area landfall density isquite high compared to other coastal provinces.

CHAPTER2 MODELLING OF NON-TYPHOON CONDITION21 Introduction

2.1.1 Introduction model MIKE 21

Vietnam has about 1,000,000 km? of sea surface, 3260 km of coastline; it is an

‘opportunity for developing economy in coastal zones According to stategy to 2020,

Vietnam is a sea country, and coastal activities will account for 54 per sent of GDP.

Beside the opportunities, Vietnam has to withstand several typhoons which lead tobreaking sea dykes, floor and economic damage To prevent and reduce hazard due totyphoon, studying and choosing solution to protect for each area that become moreimportant and essential.

From wind field transferring on the sea, we can know which areas are affected fromstorm surge the most; hence, there will be solution to protect or strengthen the area So

calculating storm surge in the area by 2D model is a opimun method.

Mike software is software package of DHI Water & Enviroment applyied hydraulic,

sources and enviromental simulation, including river, river mount, sea and coastal zone.

‘The software package has been utilized rather effectively in different countries.

Student: Tran Manh Linh 20 Class: Niche B

In Mike 21 model package, there are modules, such as Hydrodynamic (HD); Transport(TR); ECO Lab (EL); Mud Transport (MT); Sand Transport (ST , and the masterresearch mainly applies the module: Module Flow Model FM.

In all module of Mike 21, Hydrodynamic HD is basic module It provides the regime of

hydrodynamic that is foundation for calculation process of other modules.

2.1.2 Module Mike2l FM

Mike 21 FM which is new model system in untilizing flexible gird node, is developedby DHI Water & nviroment The model system is developed for studying about seaand envirironment of coastal zone The model consists of continunity equation, momentequation, concentration equation, salt equation.

‘The Mike 21 consists of all modules as

* Hydrodynamic Module« Sediment transport module* Ecological Module

+ Observation point module

Hydrodynamic Module is the basic ingredient of mike 21FM system model, providingbasic hydraulic mode for area calculation,

‘The system of equations (1) to (3) can be solved numerically by a finite difference

method (FDM), a finite element method (FEM) or @ finite volume method (FVM).Boundary conditions are required for the model Mode! boundary locations should beselected far enough from the interested area atthe places where there is almost no stormsurge influence Therefore, only tidal levels can be used as model boundary conditions.The tidal level can be computed based on tidal harmonic constants, Together withparameters of the models presenting typhoon pressure and wind fields, the abovecoefficients of Chézy roughness coefficient (C), wind drag coelfieient (C.), eddydiffusion icient (2) are model parameters and can be changed during modelcalibration process,

‘There are many modeling software available that can be used to solve these above‘equations including sophisticated commercial models like Delft3D, MIKE 21, SMS,

“The advantages of these models are stable, reliable, and easy to use because they are

‘equipped with graphical user interface (GUD) and pre- and post-processing software.‘The disadvantages of the models are that they are not always available, expensive andare not allowed to change the computational code Beside of these, there are also many‘open source modeling codes such as POM, ECOMSED, HAMSOM These models arefree and allowed to modify computational code if necessary,
