On the Modelling of Tsunami Generation and Tsunami Inundation

open access: yesProcedia IUTAM, 2014
While the propagation of tsunamis is well understood and well simulated by numerical models, there are still a number of unanswered questions related to the generation of tsunamis or the subsequent inundation. We review some of the basic generation mechanisms as well as their simulation.

Characteristics of the Source of Tsunami Generation and Description of Tsunami

2000
A strong earthquake occurred. The harbour in Thessaloniki was flooded for some time, i = 2 [Galanopoulos, 1960a,b; Ambraseys, 1962; Karnik, 1971; Papazachos and Papazachou, 1997].

Tsunami generation

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1973
The problems of tsunami generation are treated by standard integral-transform and modified stationary-phase methods to yield asymptotic approximations to the surface disturbances. The effects of asymmetry are considered in a one-dimensional ocean. Series representations are used to produce sets of normal-mode oscillations in a two-dimensional ocean ...

Representation of tsunamis in generalized hyperspace

2011 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2011
We show that tsunami representations can be mapped onto each other by a linear transformation.

Modeling of Landslide‐Generated Tsunamis with GRASS

Transactions in GIS, 2012
AbstractThe following research aims to enhance and spread the capacity of assessing risk due to landslide‐generated tsunamis by fostering the use of a GIS (Geographic Information System), and in this particular instance, an Open Source GIS (where “Open Source” can be loosely defined as freely available source code).

A mechanism for tsunami generation

Journal of Hydraulic Research, 1993
Most tsunamis have previously been believed to be generated by relatively large-scale vertical movements of the sea bed beneath an incompressible sea. This paper considers the possibility that fluid compressibility might be responsible for amplifying seismic waves sufficiently to generate tsunami waves in the open sea.

Baroclinic Tsunami Generation

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1980
Abstract An analytical and experimental study of the baroclinic waves generated by a monopole dislocation of the sea floor is presented. Analytical results are based on a two-dimensional and linearized description of motion using a two-layer approximation for density variation; experiments utilize a stratification with finite (nonzero) pycnocline ...
