Abstract
The recent progress in development and application of the High order Boussinesq-type equations for numerical simulation of tsunamis is presented. The moving bottom is implemented to simulate the generation of tsunami induced by submarine earthquakes. The wave patterns of tsunami near the source are obtained for the cases of different magnitude of earthquake and the depth of ocean, which confirms that the leading depression N-wave occurs when the earthquake magnitude is large enough. The numerical model is applied in modeling the India Ocean Tsunami in 2004. The computed value of the runup of tsunami is compared with the data from field survey available.
