Hello everyone,
i have some difficulties to understand, how the wind effect in case of a storm surge is considered in telemac-2d. Are the effect of fetch and duration included in the simulation?
For example:
If i simulate the water elevation at a location, and i use two different space and time varying wind data.
e.g. in the first data the maximum wind reaches -20 m/s and then degenerates rapidly. however, in the second wind data the maximum wind reaches -20 m/s, but stay constant for a while then decreases slowly.
THE QUESTION:
Would i have the same maximum of water surge in both cases, or would be the 2nd water elevation more considerable due to the higher action time of wind "longer duration".
I´ll appreciate your help
best regards,
Hatem
