TsunamiClaw
TsunamiClaw will soon be incorporated into the more general software package GeoClaw. While retaining all of the features of TsunamiClaw, GeoClaw is a more general software package for tsunami, flood and other geophysical flows. GeoClaw is a new and ongoing project. The project page is www.geoclaw.org.
TsunamiClaw is a software package designed to solve the two-dimensional shallow water equations over arbitrary sets of bathymetry data, particularly in the context of modeling tsunami propagation and inundation of land. The code also includes a library for 1-dimensional problems. The code is an extension of the Clawpack software, written by Randy LeVeque, as well as AMRCLAW---adaptive mesh refinement routines written by Marsha Berger and Randy LeVeque. These codes employ wave-propagation algorithms on finite volume grids for hyperbolic systems. For more information, see the references below.
TsunamiClaw is written in fortran and designed to run on unix-type operating systems. All of the necessary libraries are available in the tar-zipped directory below. Documentation specific to TsunamiClaw comes with the distribution, and is also included below. Additionally, documentation for Clawpack, provided below, is necessary for a full understanding of the code. An official page for TsunamiClaw is maintained at the Clawpack website under the extensions link.
