Abstract
ABSTRACT Kang, C.; Park, K.-Y., and Cho, Y.-S., 2018. Run-up Heights of Tsunamis for Geometric Variables. In: Shim, J.-S.; Chun, I., and Lim, H.S. (eds.), Proceedings from the International Coastal Symposium (ICS) 2018 (Busan, Republic of Korea). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 85, pp. 731–735. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Since many islands are located in the South Sea of the Korean Peninsula, unexpected tsunamis could cause devastating damage. To investigate the effects of geometric variables on the maximum run-up heights of tsunamis, a numerical model is first employed. The model is based on the nonlinear shallow-water equations with a moving boundary treatment along the shoreline. The numerical model is then applied to simulation of maximum run-up heights of tsunamis approaching on islands with variable geometric conditions. The obtained numerical results can be used to a defense plan of islands in the case of real tsunami attacks.
