Abstract

An analytical solution is developed to model propagation of tsunami waves generated by underwater landslides. The proposed solution could particularly be used for validation of experimental and numerical models, since it allows imposition of block-type bottom profiles. Tsunami run-up, that is, time series of water elevations at the initial shoreline, and its maximum is calculated through the proposed analytical model. Effects of steepness of the bottom profile and slide length on the maximum run-up are also analyzed.
