Creating a High-Definition Animation of Tsunami Propagation

Tsunami Wave Propagation

Tsunami propagation modelling – a sensitivity study

Indian Ocean (2004) Tsunami and following tragic consequences demonstrated lack of relevant experience and preparedness among involved coastal nations. After the event, scientific and forecasting circles of affected countries have started a capacity building to tackle similar problems in the future. Different approaches have been used for tsunami propagation, such as Boussinesq and Nonlinear Sh...

A new numerical model for propagation of tsunami waves

A new model for propagation of long waves including the coastal area is introduced. This model considers only the motion of the surface of the sea under the condition of preservation of mass and the sea floor is inserted into the model as an obstacle to the motion. Thus we obtain a constrained hyperbolic free-boundary problem which is then solved numerically by a minimizing method called the di...

Creating Web-Based Animation in STEM Education

We present educational web-based animations to facilitate teaching and learning in STEM courses. These animations incorporate engaging graphics, sound and user interaction to explain a particular topic. They have been developed by IT junior and senior students who closely worked with faculty of STEM courses such as Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology who were interested in having animations dev...

Creating Fluid Animation from a Single Image using Video Database

We present a method for synthesizing fluid animation from a single image, using a fluid video database. The user inputs a target painting or photograph of a fluid scene along with its alpha matte that extracts the fluid region of interest in the scene. Our approach allows the user to generate a fluid animation from the input image and to enter a few additional commands about fluid orientation o...
