  7. Abstract:
  8. Sea and ocean waves develop in various ways especially by blowing wind over them. Modeling of these waves has been in center of interest for half a century. After the pioneering study of Gelchi et al (1995), ocean wave models are generally base on a spectral energy or action balance equation. Ocean storms such as tropical cyclone will develop if the atmospheric and oceanic conditions are available. Their Rotational and transition movement causes different patterns of waves. In 2007, cyclone Gonu, a tropical cyclone that formed in Indian ocean and have steered to Oman Sea and also caused damages and casualties in southern coast of Iran. Since intense tropical cyclones such as Gonu have happened rarely over this region, there is a little study about modeling of waves generated by tropical cyclone. Rising in temperature of ocean’s surface, as fuel of heat engine, has persuaded us to study and perform numerical modeling about waves that generated by tropical cyclone and cyclone Gonu. Moreover, user friendly software has been developed. Since accurate results have been acquired, model has developed for monitoring and modeling the tropical cyclone which forming in Indian Ocean and Oman Sea. Model’s outputs are wave’s characteristics to help engineer for designing port, coast, marine structure and crisis management
