A Tsunami Ball Approach to Storm Surge and Inundation: Application to Hurricane Katrina, 2005

Most analyses of storm surge and inundation solve equations of continuity and momentum on fixed finite-difference/finite-element meshes. I develop a completely new approach that uses a momentum equation to accelerate bits or balls of water over variable depth topography. The thickness of the water c...
