Study on inclined propagation of a tsunami

  • 발행 : 2008.02.28

초록

During last decades several devastating tsunamis have been occurred around the Pacific Ocean area. These tsunamis not only killed many human beings but also caused serious property damages. In the southern sea of the Korean Peninsula, many islands are scattered. These islands are very vulnerable to unexpected tsunami attacks. In this study, a numerical model is employed to investigate behaviors of tsunamis around circular islands. Although a few studies have been reported on the run-up heights of tsunami attacking a circular island, the effects of oblique incidence of tsunamis on the run-up heights have not been examined in detail. The run-up heights of obliquely incident tsunamis will be studied.
