Numerical Simulation of the December 26, 2004: Indian Ocean Tsunami
The December 26, 2004 tsunami is one of the most devastating tsunami in recorded history. It was generated in the Indian Ocean off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia at 0:58:53 (GMT) by one of the largest earthquake of the century with a moment magnitude of Mw = 9.3. In the study, we focus on a best-fitted tsunami source for tsunami modeling based on geophysical and seismological ...
متن کاملDispersive Study on Tsunami Propagation of The Indian Ocean Tsunami , 26 December 2004
The Indian Ocean Tsunami (IOT) 26 December 2004 is the most devastating tsunami recorded in history causing over than 200,000 deaths and millions homeless people, uncounted property and infrastructure damaged along the coasts of Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives. Many lessons can be inferred for this case, one of interesting phenomena is the dispersive effect on tsunami propagati...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami using a Higher-order Boussinesq Model
Based on differences in seafloor morphology and information about the earthquake, we develop four separate sources for the December 26, 2004 tsunami, along a 1200 km long rupture zone. We trigger these sources in a time sequence spanning 331 s, to perform a numerical simulation of the tsunami, with a higher-order Boussinesq model. We find reasonable agreement of numerical results with a few obs...
متن کاملModeling the 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami: Case study of impact in Thailand
[1] The devastating 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami stressed the need for assessing tsunami hazard in vulnerable coastal areas. Numerical modeling is but one important tool for understanding past tsunami events and simulating future ones. Here we present a robust simulation of the event, which explains the large runups and destruction observed in coastal Thailand and identifies areas vuln...
متن کاملSource Constraints and Model Simulation of the December 26, 2004, Indian Ocean Tsunami
The December 26, 2004 tsunami was perhaps the most devastating tsunami in recorded history, causing over 200,000 fatalities and widespread destruction in countries bordering the Indian Ocean. It was generated by the third largest earthquake on record Mw=9.1–9.3 and was a truly global event, with significant wave action felt around the world. Many measurements of this event were made with seismo...
