The TideSimOne application is a graphical storm surge simulator built using Python's Tkinter for the GUI and Matplotlib for dynamic visualizations. I designed it to model and visualize the propagation of a storm surge across a 2D ocean grid, it allows users to customize storm parameters such as intensity, location, and propagation speed, and then observe the simulated impact on coastal areas.
Key features include:
1- A user-friendly interface to control simulation parameters.
2- Real-time visualizations of storm development, wave propagation, and impact levels.
3- Animated plots showing ocean dynamics and cumulative water levels at a user-defined impact point.
4- Use of numerical methods (convolution, Gaussian filtering) to simulate physical processes.
This tool can be used for educational purposes, preliminary flood risk analysis, or to demonstrate the basic mechanics of coastal storm surge phenomena.
Note. See the distorsion after 60 time step. Any explanations?Â
