Storm-surge simulations: a quantitative comparison of some open-source shallow-water solvers

In grateful memory of G.H. Jirka (1944-2010), convenor of the first ISSF held at the Delft University of Technology in 2003 This deposit contains a contribution to the 4th International Symposium on Shallow Flows, consisting of (a) the one-page summary submitted for acceptance; (b) the three-page extended summary prepared for the conference; and (c) the slideshow of the talk presented at the venue (displayed in the default preview because of the alphabetical sorting). These files are open-access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International: look at the 'Cite as' box at the right hand side for the appropriate citation. A redistribution of the conference programme is also included. The table of content of the extended summary (b) is: Abstract 1. Context and relevance 2. Benchmarks for storm surges simulations No single verification is sufficient, buy any is necessary Simplified but exact solutions for storm-surge simulations Performance assessment for flow solvers 3.
