The main tsunami wave triggered by the December 2004 Sumatra tsunami was detected in the ocean south of India by satellite altimeters on Jason, Topex/Poseidon and Envisat. All three altimeters also detected shorter-wavelength (10 to 100 km), slower-propagating surface waves, spreading from the site of the earthquake. The shorter waves give additional information about the tsunami event, and can be used to better define the generating region in this, and future tsunamis. The properties of the area of shorter tsunami-generated waves may also be important in designing a future satellite-based detection system.

This study presents a new method to computes analytical fragility curves of a structure subject to tsunami waves. The method uses dynamic analysis at each stage of the computation. First, the smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) model simulates the propagation of the tsunami waves from shallow water to their impact on the target structure. The advantage of SPH over mesh based methods is its capability to model wave surface interaction when large deformations are involved, such as the impact of water on a structure. Although SPH is computationally more expensive than mesh based method, nowadays the advent of parallel computing on general purpose graphic processing unit overcome this limitation. Then, the impact force is applied to a finite element model of the structure and its dynamic non-linear response is computed. When a data-set of tsunami waves is used analytical fragility curves can be computed. This study proves it is possible to obtain the response of a structure to a tsunami wave using state of the art dynamic models in every stage of the computation at an affordable cost.

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake triggered extremely destructive tsunami waves which propagated over the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean through Drake Passage and Indian Ocean respectively. A total of 10 tide-gauge records collected from the UNESCO/IOC site were analyzed through a band-pass digital filtering device to examine the observed tsunami characteristics. The ray tracing method and finite-difference model with GEBCO 30 arc second bathymetry were also applied to compare the travel times of the Tohoku-originated tsunami, particularly at Rodrigues in the Indian Ocean and King Edward Point in the Atlantic Ocean with observation-based estimates. At both locations the finite-difference model produced the shortest arrival times, while the ray method produced the longest arrival times. Values of the travel time difference however appear to be within tolerable ranges, considering the propagation distance of the tsunami waves. The observed tsunami at Rodrigues, Mauritius in the west of the Madagascar was found to take a clockwise travel path around Australia and New Zealand, while the observed tsunami at King Edward Point in the southern Atlantic Ocean was found to traverse the Pacific Ocean and then passed into the Atlantic Ocean through the Drake Strait. The formation of icebergs captured by satellite images in Sulzberger in the Antarctica also supports the long-range propagation of the Tohoku-originated tsunami.

A Tsunami was generated by the magnitude 9.0 earthquake which occurred near Indonesia. An energetic Tsunami will display vertical water displacement of the order of ten meters and lateral scales of the order of tens of kilometers. The Tsunami destroyed many coastal villages in Asia. So, there are many victims in southeastern part Asia by Tsunami. Therefore, the construction of Tsunami prediction and warning system is needed for minimize the damage by seismic sea waves.

The paper reports on the first experimental evidence for space-observed manifestation of the open ocean tsunami in the microwave radar backscatter (in C- and Ku-bands). Significant variations of the radar cross section synchronous with the sea level anomaly were found in the geophysical data record of the altimetry satellite Jason-1 for the track which crossed the head wave of the catastrophic tsunami of 26 December 2004. The simultaneous analysis of the available complementary data provided by the satellite three-channel radiometer enabled us to exclude meteorological factors as possible causes of the observed signal modulation. A possible physical mechanism of modulation of short wind waves due to transformation of the thin boundary layer in the air by a tsunami wave is discussed. The results open new possibilities of monitoring tsunamis from space..

Both the propagation velocity and the direction of atmospheric waves are important factors for analyzing and forecasting meteo-tsunami. In this study, a total of 14 events of meteo-tsunami over 11 years (2006-2016) are selected through analyzing sea-level data observed from tidal stations along the west coast of the Korean peninsula. The propagation velocity and direction are calculated by tracing the atmospheric disturbance of each meteo-tsunami event predicted by the WRF model. Then, the Froude number is calculated using the propagation velocity of atmospheric waves and oceanic long waves from bathymetry data. To derive the critical condition for the occurrence of meteo-tsunami, supervised learning using a logistic regression algorithm is conducted. It is concluded that the threshold distance of meteo-tsunami occurrence, from a propagation direction, can be calculated by the amplitude of air-pressure tendency and the resonance factor, which are found using the Froude number. According to the critical condition, the distance increases logarithmically with the ratio of the amplitude of air-pressure tendency and the square of the resonance factor, and meteo-tsunami do not occur when the ratio is less than 5.11 hPa/10 min.

For decades, solitary waves have commonly been used to simulate tsunami conditions in numerical studies. However, the main component of a tsunami waveform acts at completely different spatial and temporal distributions than a solitary waveform. Thus, this study applied a 2-D numerical wave tank that included a non-reflected tsunami generation system based on Navier-Stokes equations (LES-WASS-2D) to directly simulate the run-up of a tsunami-like solitary wave on a slope. First, the waveform and velocity due to the virtual depth factor were applied to the numerical wave tank to generate a tsunami, which made it possible to generate the wide waveform of a tsunami, which was not reproduced with the existing solitary wave approximation theory. Then, to validate the applied numerical model, the validity and effectiveness of the numerical wave tank were verified by comparing the results with the results of a laboratory experiment on a tsunami run-up on a smooth impermeable 1:19.85 slope. Using the numerical results, the run-up characteristics due to a tsunami-like solitary wave on an impermeable slope were also discussed in relation to the volume ratio. The maximum run-up heights increased with the ratio of the tsunami waveform. Therefore, the tsunami run-up is highly likely to be underestimated compared to a real tsunami if the solitary wave of the approximation theory is applied in a tsunami simulation in a coastal region.

해일, 해수범람 등 연안재해로 인한 피해가 발생할 수 있는 취약 지역을 사전에 예방하고 최소한으로 손실을 경감할 수 있도록 효율적인 관리가 지속적으로 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 지리정보시스템을 이용하여 과거 지진해 일시 침수된 흔적과 예상되는 피해 지역을 분석하고자 한다. 동해안 연안인 망상과 노봉 지역을 대상으로 수치표 고모형을 완성한 후 과거 지진해일로 인한 침수 기록을 표시하고 향후 3m, 5m의 지진해일 내습시 침수되는 지역들을 예측하였다. 침수 흔적과 3m 및 5m의 침수예상 지역들을 지적도와 각각 중첩시켜 침수 예상에 따른 범위 및 지번을 산출하였고, 대상 지역은 5m 해일의 내습시 3m 해일보다 침수 범위가 2.8배 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 분석된 자료는 해일시 대피 작업 활동과 피해 보상 예측에 활용 가능하며, 자연재해 피해의 사전예방을 위해 적합한 방재대책으로 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 투과성구조물에서 우수한 파랑제어기능을 발휘하는 것으로 잘 알려져 있는 슬리트케이슨제 중에 기본형인 연직벽형 횡슬리트케이슨제가 불투과성지반 및 투과성지반상에 설치된 조건하에 구조물에 작용하는 단주기파랑 및 지진해일파에 의한 파압의 특성을 논의한다. 투과성지반의 해석에서는 공극율을 편의상 0.4로 가정하여 2차원 및 3차원수치해석을 수행하고, 불투과성의 경우와 그의 차이를 비교 검토한다. 이 때, 입사파랑의 조건으로는 설계파랑으로 일반적으로 고려되는 단주기파랑과 그의 진폭과 동일한 크기로 내습하는 지진해일파(고립파 혹은 단파)를 고려하며, 슬리트케이슨제의 전면유공부 및 유수실 내부의 불투과벽체에 작용하는 파압을 대상으로 한다. 해석에서는 기체와 액체의 혼상동적현상을 하나의 지배방정식으로 해석하는 이상류(二相流) 모델에 기초한 2차원 및 3차원수치파동수로를 각각 적용한다. 얻어진 수치해석결과에 의하면, 슬리트케이슨제의 전면유공부에서는 단주기 파랑에 비해 지진해일파의 작용파압이 약 3~5배 높은 값을 나타내고, 유수실 내부벽에서는 약 2~4배 높은 값을 각각 나타낸다.
