Zusammenfassung: | Some boundary conditions used to numerically simulate tsunami generation and propagation are studied. Special attention is given to generating boundary conditions thatmake it possible to simulate tsunami waves with desired characteristics (amplitude, time period and, in general, waveform). Since the water flow velocity in a propagating tsunami wave is uniquely defined by its height and ocean depth, one can simulate a wave propagating from the boundary into the simulation area. This can be done by specifying the wave height and water flow velocity on the boundary. This method is used to numerically simulate the propagation of a tsunami from the source to the coast on a sequence of refined grids. In this numerical experiment the wave parameters are transferred from the larger area to the subarea via boundary conditions. This method can also generate a wave that has certain characteristics on a specified line. |
