This book was released on 1997-05-05 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since September 1992, there has been an unprecedented number of major tsunami events. Chronologically, the ten sites were: Nicaragua, in September 1992; Flores, Indonesia, in December 1992; Okushiri, Japan, in July 1993; East Java, Indonesia, in June 1994; Shikotan, Russia, in October 1994; Mindoro, Philippines, in November 1994; Skagway, Alaska, in November 1994; East Timor, Indonesia, in May 1995; Irian Jaya, Indonesia, in February 1996; Chimbote, Peru, in February 1996. These tsunamis caused substantial damage and many casualties. Now is the time to review this extraordinary phenomenon so as to prepare for forthcoming tsunami events.The purpose of this book is to review and update our knowledge of long-wave runups and our recent experience in field surveys of tsunami runups. Comparisons of numerical, analytical, and physical prediction models are made using existing laboratory and field data. Also presented are state-of-the-art tsunami prediction models and detailed discussions on tsunami runup phenomena.

Download or read book Advanced Numerical Models For Simulating Tsunami Waves And Runup written by Philip L-f Liu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2008-09-29 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review volume is divided into two parts. The first part includes five review papers on various numerical models. Pedersen provides a brief but thorough review of the theoretical background for depth-integrated wave equations, which are employed to simulate tsunami runup. LeVeque and George describe high-resolution finite volume methods for solving the nonlinear shallow water equations. The focus of their discussion is on the applications of these methods to tsunami runup.In recent years, several advanced 3D numerical models have been introduced to the field of coastal engineering to calculate breaking waves and wave-structure interactions. These models are still under development and are at different stages of maturity. Rogers and Dalrymple discuss the Smooth Particles Hydrodynamics (SPH) method, which is a meshless method. Wu and Liu present their Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model for simulating the landslide-generated waves. Finally, Frandsen introduces the lattice Boltzmann method with the consideration of a free surface.The second part of the review volume contains the descriptions of the benchmark problems with eleven extended abstracts submitted by the workshop participants. All these papers are compared with their numerical results with benchmark solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Till the very end of the twentieth century tsunami waves (or ‘waves in a harbour’, translated from Japanese) were considered an extremely rare and exotic natural p- nomenon, originating in the ocean and unexpectedly falling upon the seaside as gigantic waves. The 26th of December 2004, when tsunami waves wiped out, in a single day, more than 250,000 human lives, mourned in many countries, turned out to be a tragic date for all mankind. The authors of this book, who have studied tsunami waves for many years, - tended it to be a systematic exposition of modern ideas concerning • The mechanisms of tsunami wave generation • The peculiarities of tsunami wave propagation in the open ocean and of how waves run-up beaches • Methods for tsunami wave registration and the operation of a tsunami warning system • The mechanisms of other catastrophic processes in the ocean related to the se- mic activity of our planet The authors considered their main goal to be the creation of book prese- ing modern knowledge of tsunami waves and of other catastrophes in the ocean to scienti?c researchers and specialists in geophysics, oceanography, seismology, hydroacoustics, geology, geomorphology, civil and seaside engineering, postgr- uate students and students of relevant professions.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field measurements of incident waves and the resulting run-up made at two different natural sand beaches along San Francisco Bay show low-frequency energy in the run-up not observed in the corresponding incident-wave spectra. The experiments were conducted in December 1977 at Alameda Beach and in May 1982 at Coyote Point Beach. Both experiments were designed to measure the run-up on dissipative beaches exposed only to high-frequency, narrow-band wind waves at the exclusion of lower frequency swell. Criteria for field-site selection included a single breaker zone located near the shoreline with incident wind waves that broke by plunging, thereby minimizing reflection and forming a low-energy dissipative beach system. Elimination of the long-wave components in the incident wave field would suppress reflection at the shoreline, minimizing external nonlinear modulation of the run-up by edge waves and standing waves. Amplitude time series measurements of offshore incident waves and the run-up on the beach face were made simultaneously at multiple locations on the beach using 16-mm photography. Coherence analyses indicate that the offshore incident waves and run-up on the beach are not linearly correlated. Correlation analyses conducted on the run-up at alongshore distances up to 3.5 m indicate that the run-up is coherent in the alongshore direction up to this distance.
Download or read book Large Scale Disasters written by Mohamed Gad-el-Hak and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-23 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Extreme' events - including climatic events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, drought - can cause massive disruption to society, including large death tolls and property damage in the billions of dollars. Events in recent years have shown the importance of being prepared and that countries need to work together to help alleviate the resulting pain and suffering. This volume presents an integrated review of the broad research field of large-scale disasters. It establishes a common framework for predicting, controlling and managing both manmade and natural disasters. There is a particular focus on events caused by weather and climate change. Other topics include air pollution, tsunamis, disaster modeling, the use of remote sensing and the logistics of disaster management. It will appeal to scientists, engineers, first responders and health-care professionals, in addition to graduate students and researchers who have an interest in the prediction, prevention or mitigation of large-scale disasters.
