Water waves generated by a moving bottom
نویسنده
چکیده
Tsunamis are often generated by a moving sea bottom. This paper deals with the case where the tsunami source is an earthquake. The linearized water-wave equations are solved analytically for various sea bottom motions. Numerical results based on the analytical solutions are shown for the free-surface profiles, the horizontal and vertical velocities as well as the bottom pressure.

Numerical study of nonlinear shallow water waves produced by a submerged moving disturbance in viscous flow
Two-dimensional solitary waves generated by a submerged body moving near the critical speed in a shallow water channel are studied numerically. The incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a curvilinear free-surface-fitted coordinate system are solved by the finite difference method. The present numerical results are compared with the existing experimental data, and with the numerical solution...
متن کاملLinear theory of wave generation by a moving bottom Denys
The computation of long wave propagation through the ocean obviously depends on the initial condition. When the waves are generated by a moving bottom, a traditional approach consists in translating the “frozen” sea bed deformation to the free surface and propagating it. The present study shows the differences between the classical approach (passive generation) and the active generation where t...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of a Two-dimensional Boussinesq System
We present here a highly efficient and accurate numerical scheme for initial and boundary value problems of a two-dimensional Boussinesq system which describes three-dimensional water waves over a moving and uneven bottom with surface pressure variation. The scheme is then used to study in details the waves generated from rectangular sources and the two-dimensional wave patterns.
متن کاملEquations for bi-directional waves over an uneven bottom
This paper is centered at deriving and studying systems modeling bi-directional surface waves over an uneven or a moving bottom. Compared with the huge amount of work on model equations describing one-way propagation of water waves, much less attention has been given to Boussinesq systems describing two-way propagation of water waves, especially to the systems which are externally forced.
متن کاملDead Waters: Large amplitude interfacial waves generated by a boat in a stratified fluid
We present fluid dynamics videos of the motion of a boat on a twolayer or three-layer fluid. Under certain specific conditions, this setup generates large amplitude interfacial waves, while no surface waves are visible. The boat is slowed down leading to a peristaltic effect and sometimes even stopped: this is the so-called dead water phenomenon. The phenomenon of dead water was first encounter...
