Investigation of hydrodynamic demands of tsunamis in inundation zone

By admin

This thesis analyzed the new parameter “hydrodynamic demand” repre-
senting the damage of tsunami waves on structures and coastlines,
maximum positive amplitudes and current velocities occurred during
tsunami inundation by using the numerical model TUNAMI-N2. Regular
shaped basins were used with two different bottom slopes in analyses in
order to understand the behaviour of tsunami wave and investigate the
change of important tsunami parameters along different slopes during
tsunami inundation. In application, different initial conditions were used for
wave profiles such as solitary wave, leading elevation single sinusoidal
wave and leading depression sinusoidal wave. Three different initial wave
amplitudes were used in order to test the change of distribution of the
hydrodynamic demand. The numerical results were compared and
discussed with each other and with the results of existing analytical and
experimental studies.
