... ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the collision force of driftwoods and small boats due to tsunamis. Even though there are some calculation formulas from past experiments, quantitative approaches for design criteria of tsunami protection structures are not established. Accordingly, to upgrade...

... successive solitary waves can be generated and superimposed on the surge wave, and the experimental data show good repeatability. A profile of the undular bores simulated by numerical computation is well reproduced in the basin. INTRODUCTION Tsunami is one of the devastating natural hazards, which may...

... Abstract The trapping effect of oceanic ridge plays an important role on the far-field tsunami propagation pattern though the trapping mechanism is still unknown. Based on the linear shallow water equations, the trapped modes over a symmetric parabolic-profile submerged ridge are obtained...

... ABSTRACT: At present no methodology exists to evaluate the failure mode of a caisson breakwater subjected to a tsunami attack. The present paper investigates the sliding and tilting failure of a caisson breakwater subjected to a solitary wave attack, and establishes a relationship between...

... the beginning of earthquake there is a deformation anomaly of the big size. The size of deformation anomaly registered by laser strainmeter is connected to size of mixture of a bottom in an epicenter of earthquake. The given displacement also results in formation of a tsunami. The deformation anomaly registered...

... ABSTRACT: The nonlinear shallow water equation is used for simulate the wave run-up on Phuket beaches due to the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Compared with field survey reported and data published in the literatures, the results of the developed numerical model shows good agreement in wave run...

... ABSTRACT: This paper aims to investigate the kinetic momentum of ice floe carried by tsunami through the experiments. In the experiment, two types of model slope were installed into the wave tank of 24m in length and solitary wave were generated. And the movement of model ice sheets...
