Natural Hazards, 2015
Tsunami risk reduction activities rely on a sound knowledge of the hazard characteristics. Our understanding of these characteristics is derived from empirical measurements, numerical models or established rules. Conventional methods used to delineate areas vulnerable to tsunami inundation are often calculated from estimated maximum wave height at the ...

There is usually a region on beaches, closer to the shore than the area in which waves first break, in which the waves may be modelled by a combination of the finite- amplitude shallow-water equations and bores. Numerical computations of such bores and their run-up have been performed and compared with analytical results. Calculations for a single bore

Online auctions allow the seller to remain anonymous and to easily change identities. Buyers must rely on the seller's description of a product and ability to deliver the product as promised. Internet auction environments make opportunistic behavior more attractive to sellers because the chance of detection and punishment is decreased. In this research,

A numerical model based on a Lagrangian description has been developed for studying run-up of long water waves governed by a set of Boussinesq equations. The performance of the numerical scheme has been tested by comparing with analytical solutions and experimental data.

Ishinomaki city was severely damaged by the tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake on 2011. Our target is to simulate impact by the tsunami run-up with many floating objects on coastal areas and an urban area of Ishinomaki. Zoom-up analysis by three analyses stages is adopted to solve a large area from an epicenter to an urban area.

Nonlinear landslide tsunami run-up
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2011AbstractInhomogeneous nonlinear shallow-water equations are studied using the Carrier–Greenspan approach and the resulting equations are solved analytically. The Carrier–Greenspan transformations are commonly used hodograph transformations that transform the nonlinear shallow-water equations into a set of linear equations in which partial derivatives ...

The chapter describes the fascinating realignment in Turkish politics with the rise of the AKP into power from late 2002, distancing itself from the Islamist politics (‘Islamo-nationalism’, Millî Görüş) of most of its founders, and drawing on ‘Westernisation’ through strengthened ties with the European Union.

This chapter examines recent historical trends to better understand how the massive restructuring of the information and communications technology (ICT) sector sparked a shift into networks in capitalist development. Profound technical and institutional changes in the ICT industry, which lies at the epicenter of an emerging digital capitalism, caused ...

Wave Run-Up On Shore Structures
Journal of the Waterways and Harbors Division, 1956Laboratory tests determining run-up on shore structures as a result of wave action are described. Curves relating the run-up to wave steepness, structure type, and depth at structure toe are presented.

Measurements of velocity and elevation in the inner surf zone usually show that a substantial fraction of the total variance is at surf beat periods, roughly 30–200 sec. (Inman, 1968; Suhayda, 1971, 1974; Goda, 1975; Huntley, 1976; Wright et al., 1979; Holman, 1981; Wright et al., 1982; and others).
