TWAVE Modeling Package for Simulation of Coastal Inundation in Island Regions
This paper describes the coastal modeling package TWAVE (Typhoon and Wave) developed under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Surge and Wave Island Modeling Studies (SWIMS) project. TWAVE is a PC-based modeling package that provides nearshore estimates of wave runup and inundation caused by tropical storm events (typhoons and hurricanes). TWAVE consists of regional models and nearshore wave models. The TWAVE modeling system is implemented in a Microsoft® Excel worksheet format, which serves as the user interface to visualize the system's input and output files. The example in this paper demonstrates the data products derived from TWAVE for a hypothetical hurricane, based upon the 1992 Hurricane Iniki passing directly through downtown Honolulu, Hawaii. TWAVE was used to develop estimates of coastal wave parameters, runup, and inundation caused by tropical storms. Though there was no validation data available for the hypothetical hurricane considered in this example, this storm event was used to demonstrate the overall capabilities of TWAVE for island applications.
