Abstract

Abstract

This paper describes a coupling model that simulates tsunami and the astronomical tide in the South China Sea. The coupling model is based on the tsunami model COMCOT and the global tide model TPXO7.1, using a 3-layer nested grid system. Tide-tsunami interactions are investigated in Shenzhen Waters. The computed results of tide simulations are in good agreements with observations with the average errors for the high and low tide level less than 15 cm and 20 cm. Based on tide simulations, tsunamis induced by the hypothetical earthquakes of the magnitude 8.0 and 9.0 in the Manila Trench are adopted as scenarios to simulate the tsunamis and tides interaction. The computed results show that, the tsunami wave height for 9.0Mw earthquake is about 140-150 cm outside Shenzhen Waters; and if the first tsunami wave is a positive wave which occurs at high tide level, the tsunami tide level will be extreme high, while a negative wave occurs at low tide level, the tsunami tide level will be extreme low. Compared with the coupling results, the wave height of tsunami calculated separately is about 25.0 cm higher, and the difference of tsunami arrival time is less than 6.0 mins.
