VALIDATION OF THE JRC TSUNAMI PROPAGATION AND INUNDATION CODES [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2014 In the last years several numerical codes have been developed to analyse tsunami waves. Most of these codes use a finite difference numerical approach giving good results for tsunami wave propagation, but with limitations in modelling inundation ...

Tsunami inundation modeling for western Sumatra. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2006 A long section of the Sunda megathrust south of the great tsunamigenic earthquakes of 2004 and 2005 is well advanced in its seismic cycle and a plausible candidate for rupture in the next few decades. Our computations of tsunami propagation and inundation yield model flow depths and inundations consistent with sparse historical accounts for the last ...

Simulating Tsunami Inundation and Soil Response in a Large Centrifuge. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractTsunamis are rare, extreme events and cause significant damage to coastal infrastructure, which is often exacerbated by soil instability surrounding the structures. Simulating tsunamis in a laboratory setting is important to further understand soil instability induced by tsunami inundation processes. Laboratory simulations are difficult because

Tsunami Inundation Mapping in Lima, for Two Tsunami Source Scenarios [PDF]
Journal of Disaster Research, 2013 Within the framework of the project Enhancement of Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster Mitigation Technology in Peru (JST-JICA SATREPS), this study determines tsunami inundation mapping for the coastal area of Lima city, based on numerical modeling and two different tsunami seismic scenarios.

SPATIAL MODELING OF TSUNAMIS AND TSUNAMI INUNDATION ANALYSIS OF “PANJANG” BEACH IN BENGKULU CITY, INDONESIA [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2022 Modeling the potential for tsunami inundation at tourist sites is required as a disaster mitigation effort. Spatial modeling through the application of Geographical Information System (GIS) is a method that can be used to assess the potential for ...

Earth, Planets and Space, 2022 For Japanese coastal communities along the Japan Sea, where the risk of earthquake-induced tsunamis is deemed lower than that along the Pacific Ocean, tsunami disaster mitigation strategies have not been sufficiently developed.

The damage effect on the structural capacity of school building columns due to tsunami inundation in Banda Aceh city after 16 years [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami caused catastrophic damage to buildings and infrastructure in Banda Aceh. The impact and damage depended on several factors such as the distance of the area from the coast.

Challenges, 2022 Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, vertical evacuation shelters (VES) were constructed to reduce tsunami risk. Childcare centers (CCs) in the inundation area are required to evacuate to the nearest VES in the event of a tsunami. The study aim was

Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976 This paper concerns the run-up and inundation characteristics of tsunami surges. The forces and moments produced by the waves are not discussed, however, the proposed technique does provide the necessary information for their determination. The method relies on the knowledge of the wave elevation at the coast (as determined from historical data or ...

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022 The distributions of sandy tsunami deposits do not reflect the true extents of tsunami inundation areas, leading to underestimates of inundation by past tsunamis and thus the magnitudes of their associated tsunamigenic earthquakes.
