Runup from Impact Tsunami
Tsunami generated by the impacts of asteroids or comets are widely recognized as a potential hazard (Hills et al 1994, in Hazards Due to Comets and Asteroids ed. T. Gehrels, Chapman and Morrison 1994 Nature 367, 33, Ward and Asphaug 2000, Icarus, 145, 64, Atkinson et al. 2000, Report of the UK Task Force on potentially hazardous NEOs, Chesley and Ward 2003, J. Geophys. Res., submitted). The glo...
متن کاملNumerical methods for a reliable prediction of water wave phenomena : uncertainty quantification for tsunami runup
Aim of this study is to present robust numerical methods for shallow water equations permitting to correctly predict long water-wave phenomena. A semi-intrusive and polynomialchaos based method are coupled with a residual based distribution scheme by considering several sources of uncertainties in the simulation of a long wave runup on a conical island. Stochastic results are assessed by compar...
متن کاملDispersive wave runup on non-uniform shores
Historically the finite volume methods have been developed for the numerical integration of conservation laws. In this study we present some recent results on the application of such schemes to dispersive PDEs. Namely, we solve numerically a representative of Boussinesq type equations in view of important applications to the coastal hydrodynamics. Numerical results of the runup of a moderate wa...
متن کاملPower-law Scaling and Probabilistic Forecasting of Tsunami Runup Heights
A power-law scaling relationship describes tsunami runup heights at ten locations in Japan. Knowledge of the scaling law for tsunamis can be the basis for probabilistic forecasting of the size and number of future events and for estimating probabilities of extremely large events. Using tsunami runup data archived by the U.S. National Geophysical Data Center, we study ten locations where the tsu...
متن کاملEffect of wave frequency and directional spread on shoreline runup
[1] Wave breaking across the surf zone elevates the mean water level at the shoreline (setup), and drives fluctuations about the mean (runup). Runup often is divided into seaswell (0.04–0.3 Hz) and lower frequency infragravity (0.00– 0.04 Hz) components. With energetic incident waves, runup is dominated by infragravity frequencies, and total water levels (combined setup and runup) can exceed 3 ...
