The hydrodynamics of landslide tsunamis: current analytical models and future research directions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Landslide generated tsunamis are lesser-known yet equally destructive than earthquake tsunamis. Indeed, the highest tsunami wave recorded in recent history was generated by a landslide in Lituya Bay (Alaska, July 9, 1958) and produced runup in excess of 400 m. In this paper, we review the state of the art of landslide tsunami analytical modelling. Within the framework of a linearised shallowwater theory, we illustrate the dynamics of landslide tsunami generation and propagation along beaches and around islands. Finally, we highlight some intriguing new directions in the analytical modelling of landslide tsunamis to support early warning systems.

متن کاملTsunami waves generated by submarine landslides of variable volume: analytical solutions for a basin of variable depth
Tsunami wave generation by submarine landslides of a variable volume in a basin of variable depth is studied within the shallow-water theory. The problem of landslide induced tsunami wave generation and propagation is studied analytically for two specific convex bottom profiles (h∼ x4/3 and h∼ x4). In these cases the basic equations can be reduced to the constant-coefficient wave equation with ...
متن کاملUnderwater Landslide Shape, Motion, Deformation, and Tsunami Generation
We study underwater landslide shape, motion and deformation at early times. We present experimental and numerical results in a search for general behaviors of tsunamigenic underwater landslides. Our experimental work presents a granular mass moving and deforming down a steep incline. Our numerical work uses a Bingham-like fluid model (BING) to simulate more realistic underwater landslide models...
متن کاملPhysical Modeling of Landslide Tsunamis – a Novel Generator
Landslides may pose perceptible tsunami hazards to areas commonly regarded as immune. A large number of historic and prehistoric slope failures have been reported covering a broad range of landslide volumes and resulting tsunamis. Landslide generated tsunamis were investigated in a two-dimensional physical laboratory model based on the generalized Froude similarity. The slide impact characteris...
