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.

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 ...

A GPU-Based Simulation of Tsunami Propagation and Inundation

2009
Tsunami simulation consists of fluid dynamics, numerical computations, and visualization techniques. Nonlinear shallow water equations are often used to model the tsunami propagation. By adding the friction slope to the conservation of momentum, it also can model the tsunami inundation.

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.

Short-Term Inundation Forecasting for Tsunamis

2003
Since 1997, PMEL has been involved in the R’D effort to provide tsunami-forecasting capabilities for the Pacific Disaster Center (PDC) in Hawaii. As a part of this effort, modeling tools for the short-term forecasting, and assessing the risk of tsunami inundation have been developed.

Development of an online tool for tsunami inundation simulation and tsunami loss estimation

Continental Shelf Research, 2014
Abstract The devastating impacts of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami highlighted the need for an effective end-to-end tsunami early warning system in the region that connects the scientific components of warning with preparedness of institutions and communities to respond to an emergency. Essential to preparedness planning is knowledge of tsunami risks.

Combining Tsunami Hazard and Vulnerability on the Assessment of Tsunami Inundation Probability in Taiwan

Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami, 2014
As earthquake and tsunami are closely related, the probability of tsunami hazard had been done by extending the approach used in earthquakes. However, the hazard of tsunami depends also on the vulnerability of neighboring structures and hence its hazard and vulnerability should not be assessed separately.
