摘要

Cyclone Mekunu developed in the Arabian Sea on 22 May 2018 and made landfall near the Port of Salalah(Oman)on 25 May.Wide spread damages to properties and coastal facilities and human casualties were reported in Yemen and Oman.Less information on numerical modelling of waves and surge is publicly available on this cyclone.Therefore,numerical modelling of Cyclone Mekunu was carried out in the present study to derive waves and storm surge.The MIKE21 Spectral Wave Model and the Flow Model were used in coupled mode to simulate the waves and surge from the cyclone.Model results of waves and surge are presented in this paper for illustration purposes.The methodology of the present study can be used to simulate any cyclone around the world.
