Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submarine earthquakes, submarine slides and impacts may set large water volumes in motion characterized by very long wavelengths and a very high speed of lateral displacement, when reaching shallower water the wave breaks in over land - often with disastrous effects. This natural phenomenon is known as a tsunami event. By December 26, 2004, an event in the Indian Ocean, this word suddenly became known to the public. The effects were indeed disastrous and 227,898 people were killed. Tsunami events are a natural part of the Earth's geophysical system. There have been numerous events in the past and they will continue to be a threat to humanity; even more so today, when the coastal zone is occupied by so much more human activity and many more people. Therefore, tsunamis pose a very serious threat to humanity. The only way for us to face this threat is by increased knowledge so that we can meet future events by efficient warning systems and aid organizations. This book offers extensive and new information on tsunamis; their origin, history, effects, monitoring, hazards assessment and proposed handling with respect to precaution. Only through knowledge do we know how to behave in a wise manner. This book should be a well of tsunami knowledge for a long time, we hope.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A high-resolution, four-level, nested-grid tsunami model was used to simulate tsunami waves and wave-induced currents that will be generated in Boundary Bay in the southern Strait of Georgia by a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake with magnitude Mw 9.0. Two versions of the earthquake-induced tsunami source region were used: Model A, a whole margin buried rupture; and Model B, a whole margin splay-faulting rupture. We found that the two models produce similar results, with Model A generating slightly higher wave amplitudes in the Bay. For both models, the first wave to arrive is a wave trough of 60-80 cm. The leading wave crest that follows the trough is the highest wave, with a peak of 1.1-1.5 m, and arrives roughly 2:45 - 3:15 hours after the start of the earthquake. The primary period of the tsunami waves is 2-3 hours. Maximum wave amplitudes (of up to 1.5 m) occur within the north-western part on the Bay, and along the Semiahmoo coast (up to 1.3 m). The tsunami-induced ocean currents are typically less than 1 m/s in most areas but are up to 3 m/s at the entrance to Drayton Harbor and up to 2 m/s at the mouth of Campbell River on the Semiahmoo coast. Tsunami waves would cause flooding in coastal areas but will be restricted by the presence of the elongated dike. Flooding in the Semiahmoo area will likely occur in the Campbell River valley but will have a limited effect"--Abstract, page iv.

This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large-scale earthquake hazards pose major threats to modern society, generating casualties, disrupting socioeconomic activities, and causing enormous economic loss across the world. Events, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, highlighted the vulnerability of urban cities to catastrophic earthquakes. Accurate assessment of earthquake-related hazards (both primary and secondary) is essential to mitigate and control disaster risk exposure effectively. To date, various approaches and tools have been developed in different disciplines. However, they are fragmented over a number of research disciplines and underlying assumptions are often inconsistent. Our society and infrastructure are subjected to multiple types of cascading earthquake hazards; therefore, integrated hazard assessment and risk management strategy is needed for mitigating potential consequences due to multi-hazards. Moreover, uncertainty modeling and its impact on hazard prediction and anticipated consequences are essential parts of probabilistic earthquake hazard and risk assessment. The Research Topic is focused upon modeling and impact assessment of cascading earthquake hazards, including mainshock ground shaking, aftershock, tsunami, liquefaction, and landslide.

Download or read book Numerical Modeling Of Tsunami Waves written by Juan J Horrillo and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph aims at presenting a unified approach to numerical modeling of tsunami as long waves based on finite difference methods for 1D, 2D and 3D generation processes, propagation, and runup. Many practical examples give insight into the relationship between long wave physics and numerical solutions and allow readers to quickly pursue and develop specific topics in greater depth. The aim of this book is to start from basics and then continue into applications. This approach should serve well the needs of researchers and students of physics, physical oceanography, ocean/civil engineers, computer science, and emergency management staff. Chapter 2 is particularly valuable as it fully describes the application of finite-difference methods to the study of long waves by demonstrating how physical properties of water waves, especially phase velocity, are connected to the chosen numerical algorithm. Basic notions of numerical methods, i.e. approximation of the relevant differential equations, stability of the numerical scheme, and computational errors are explained through application to long waves. Finite-difference methods are further developed in major chapters to deal with complex problems that arise in the study of recent tsunamis.

Download or read book Simulating Tsunamis in the Indian Ocean with Real Bathymetry by Using a High-order Triangular Discontinuous Galerkin Oceanic Shallow Water Model written by Dimitrios Alevras and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method has been accepted in the last decade by the geosciences community as an important component of geophysical fluid dynamics. The high-order accuracy, geometric flexibility to use unstructured grids, local conservation, and monotonicity properties of the DG method make it a prime candidate for the construction of future ocean and shallow water models. This study focuses on formatting real bathymetry data of the Indian Ocean in order to simulate the propagation stage of the Indian Ocean tsunami that occurred on December 26, 2004, by using a DG model. In order to validate this simulation the study uses real measurements. The model results are compared to tide gauge data from several stations around the Indian Ocean, satellite altimetry, and field measurements. These results show that the model gives accurate estimates of arrival times in distant locations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 26, 2004, a massive tsunami triggered by an underwater earthquake pummeled the coasts of Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and other countries along the Indian Ocean. With casualties as far away as Africa, the aftermath was overwhelming: ships could be spotted miles inland; cars floated in the ocean; legions of the unidentified dead—an estimated 225,000—were buried in mass graves; relief organizations struggled to reach rural areas and provide adequate aid for survivors. Shortly after this disaster, researchers from around the world traveled to the region’s most devastated areas, observing and documenting the tsunami’s impact. The Indian Ocean Tsunami: The Global Response to a Natural Disaster offers the first analysis of the response and recovery effort. Editors Pradyumna P. Karan and S. Subbiah, employing an interdisciplinary approach, have assembled an international team of top geographers, geologists, anthropologists, and political scientists to study the environmental, economic, and political effects of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The volume includes chapters that address the tsunami’s geo-environmental impact on coastal ecosystems and groundwater systems. Other chapters offer sociocultural perspectives on religious power relations in South India and suggest ways to improve government agencies’ response systems for natural disasters. A clear and definitive analysis of the second deadliest natural disaster on record, The Indian Ocean Tsunami will be of interest to environmentalists and political scientists alike, as well as to planners and administrators of disaster-preparedness programs.
