Tsunami modeling --- benchmark problems

3rd Int'l workshop on long-wave runup models, Catalina, June, 2004

Randy LeVeque and David George

Workshop program

Benchmark Problem 1 Tsunami runup onto a plane beach

• Summary of results

Benchmark Problem 2 Tsunami runup onto a complex 3-dimensional beach

• Summary of results
• Animation of surface
• Animation of overhead view
• Animation of overhead view -- closeup showing the same region as the video on the problem page (mpeg version)

Benchmark Problem 3 Tsunami generation and runup due to a 2-dimensional landslide

• To appear.

Benchmark Problem 4 Tsunami generation and runup due to a 3-dimensional landslide

• To appear.

The CLAWPACK software package formed the basis for these numerical simulations. Some discussion of how the wet-dry interfaces are handled can be found in David George's Master's thesis (pdf)
