Abstract:
In this study, the Bay of Bengal domain has been approximated using triangular mesh so that the finite element method (FEM) can be employed on it. The area between 15º N and 23º N Latitudes and 85º E and 95º E Longitudes is considered as the physical domain. A MATLAB routine and the cubic spline interpolation have been used to extract the coordinates of the points on the boundary of the whole domain and the points on the boundary of the islands from a colour image of the domain. A C++ routine is used to generate an edp file for triangular mesh using the extracted coordinates. Then FreeFem++ is used to create triangular mesh for the whole domain from the generated edp file. All the major islands are also incorporated in the final mesh. The obtained triangular mesh can be used to develop a storm surge prediction model for the Bay of Bengal region implementing FEM.
