Hurricane Ike surge simulation
Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) Computational Hydraulics Group (CHG) creates models like these used by Texas’ emergency managers to plan coastal evacuations as hurricanes threaten. This image models the maximum storm surge from Hurricane Ike in the Houston/Galveston region. Only within the last few years have the algorithms, computational power, and resolution become available to begin to model these events with any reasonable degree of accuracy.
