Experimental and Numerical Simulations of Tsunami-Structures Interaction
Recently, with the support of the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation Program of the National Science Foundation in the US, Oregon State University (OSU) has completed the upgrading of a Tsunami Wave Basin Facility to support experimental and computational tsunami research. This paper briefly describes the physical experimental facility and selected experimental and numerical models a...
متن کاملThe 1867 Virgin Island Tsunami
The 1867 Virgin Island Tsunami reached large magnitude on the coasts of the Caribbean Islands. A maximum tsunami height of 10 m was reported for two coastal locations (Deshaies and Sainte-Rose) in Guadeloupe. Modelling of the 1867 tsunami is performed in the framework of the nonlinear shallow-water theory. The directivity of the tsunami wave source in the Caribbean Sea according to the assumed ...
متن کاملEvaluation of far-field tsunami hazard in French Polynesia based on historical data and numerical simulations
The first tsunami hazard map of French Polynesia is presented here on the basis of historical data, and numerical simulations. French Polynesia, because of its central position in the most tsunami prone ocean, the Pacific, is strongly exposed to far-field tsunamis. As no previous study on the area had been conducted, we compiled catalogues of all the historical observations (14 events), and tid...
متن کاملInfo-tsunami: surviving the storm with data quality probes.
As a result of the rapid expansion of electronically available clinical knowledge, clinicians are faced with potential information overload (info-tsunami). The use of data quality probes (DQPs) in primary care can encourage clinicians' awareness of, and improvement in, data quality entry over time. DQPs can also highlight areas of potential error or omission as well as good practice, which can ...
متن کاملField Survey and Numerical Simulations: A Review of the 1998 Papua New Guinea Tsunami
The Papua New Guinea (PNG) tsunami of 1998 is re-examined through a detailed review of the field survey as well as numerous numerical computations. The discussion of the field survey explores a number of possible misinterpretations of the recorded data. The survey data are then employed by a numerical model as a validation tool. A Boussinesq model and a nonlinear shallow water wave (NLSW) model...
