Tsunami inundation hazard across Japan

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2020
Abstract Japan faces the world's highest tsunami hazard and risk due to its tectonic environment, high population density and exposure concentration along its coastlines. It is therefore of paramount interest to quantify and differentiate absolute and relative tsunami hazard and risk on a countrywide scale.

Inundation flow velocity of tsunami on land

Island Arc, 2010
AbstractAn estimation of tsunami inundation flow velocity is one of the most challenging issues among tsunami research. Based on field data of inundation depth and inundation flow velocity u estimated using Bernoulli's theorem and inundation depth, fundamental characteristics of the relationship between inundation flow velocity and inundation depth are

Applying a Deep Learning Algorithm to Tsunami Inundation Database of Megathrust Earthquakes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020
We explore recent developments in computer science on deep learning to estimate high‐resolution tsunami inundation from a quick low‐resolution computation result.

Tsunami inundation modelling using RiCOM

Australian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2011
The New Zealand coastline faces the risk of tsunami from a variety of sources, including remote and local earthquakes, submarine landslides, and volcanoes. Palaeotsunami studies indicate New Zealand has undergone periods of catastrophic tsunami activity, such as in the 1500s. It is important to be able to quantify the hazard posed by tsunamis.

Effectiveness of double-layer rigid vegetation in reducing the velocity and fluid force of a tsunami inundation behind the vegetation

, 2020
Vegetation can act as a bio-shield in disastrous events like tsunamis or storm surges. The effectiveness of a single layer of emergent vegetation against tsunamis has been revealed by extensive research, while the role of a double-layer rigid vegetation (

A Numerical Model for Tsunami Inundation

2023
A two-dimensional and time-dependent numerical model was developed that calculates the land inundation of a tsunami. The model solves long wave equations that include bottom friction terms. A coordinate transformation was used to allow the model to employ a smoothly varying grid that allows cells to be small in the inundation region and large in the ...
