An experimentally validated approach for evaluating tsunami inundation forces on rectangular buildings

, 2017
This paper presents an experimentally validated, closed-form set of equations for predicting forces on rectangular buildings impinged by nominally unsteady tsunami inundation flows.

A comparison of a two-dimensional depth-averaged flow model and a three-dimensional RANS model for predicting tsunami inundation and fluid forces

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
. The numerical modeling of tsunami inundation that incorporates the built environment of coastal communities is challenging for both 2-D and 3-D depth-integrated models, not only in modeling the flow but also in predicting forces on coastal structures ...

Formation process of the gravel‐dominated deposit from the 2011 Tohoku‐oki tsunami in Ofunato, northeastern Japan, inferred by integrating sedimentology and tsunami modelling

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

Reconstruction of the 2004 Tsunami Inundation Map in Banda Aceh Through Numerical Model and Its Validation with Post-Tsunami Survey Data

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2019
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recorded the 2004 tsunami heights in the Indian Ocean using the DART buoy tool and survey field data in the land side of Banda Aceh. Furthermore, 85 tsunami poles around Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar

Dispersive wave runup on non-uniform shores [PDF]

, 2011
Historically the finite volume methods have been developed for the numerical integration of conservation laws. In this study we present some recent results on the application of such schemes to dispersive PDEs.

From regional to local SPTHA: efficient computation of probabilistic tsunami inundation maps addressing near-field sources

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
. Site-specific seismic probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (SPTHA) is a computationally demanding task, as it requires, in principle, a huge number of high-resolution numerical simulations for producing probabilistic inundation maps. We implemented an

Evaluating tsunami impact on the Gulf of Cadiz Coast (Northeast Atlantic) [PDF]

, 2011
The Gulf of Cadiz coasts are exposed to tsunamis. Emergency planning tools are now taking into account this fact, especially because a series of historical occurrences were strikingly significant, having left strong evidence behind, in the mareographic ...

Near-field tsunami inundation forecast method assimilating ocean bottom pressure data: A synthetic test for the 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2018
An approach for forecasting near-field tsunami inundation was developed by combining two methods. The first method computes tsunami by assimilating pressure data observed at numerous ocean bottom sensors without tsunami source information, and the second

Contemporary disasters may not kill more women than men: an empirical inquiry into sex‐differentiated fatalities in the twenty‐first century

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological,

TSUNAMI ON 26 DECEMBER 2004: SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF TSUNAMI HEIGHT AND THE EXTENT OF INUNDATION IN SRI LANKA [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2006
This paper examines the impact of the massive tsunami of 26 December 2004 on Sri Lanka bytracing the tsunami height, the extent of inundation and the level of damage along the affectedcoastal belt.
