Physical Modeling of Landslide Tsunamis – a Novel Generator
Landslides may pose perceptible tsunami hazards to areas commonly regarded as immune. A large number of historic and prehistoric slope failures have been reported covering a broad range of landslide volumes and resulting tsunamis. Landslide generated tsunamis were investigated in a two-dimensional physical laboratory model based on the generalized Froude similarity. The slide impact characteris...
متن کاملOn the characteristics of landslide tsunamis
This review presents modelling techniques and processes that govern landslide tsunami generation, with emphasis on tsunamis induced by fully submerged landslides. The analysis focuses on a set of representative examples in simplified geometries demonstrating the main kinematic landslide parameters influencing initial tsunami amplitudes and wavelengths. Scaling relations from laboratory experime...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Simulations of Historic Tsunamis from the Cascadia Subduction Zone
INTRODUCTION We use new geological and hydrodynamic models to simulate the sea floor deformation and tsunami runup and inundation in Cannon Beach, Oregon (Fig. 1) produced by Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) earthquakes. We then compare the simulated inundation with inland extent of buried sand sheets inferred to be of tsunami origin. The CSZ exhibits similarities to other subduction zones around...
متن کاملlandslide-induced tsunamis in Stromboli: sequence of the events reconstructed from the eyewitness accounts
On 30 December 2002 the coast of the volcanic island of Stromboli, in the Tyrrhenian sea, Italy, was attacked by two tsunamis generated by landslides that took place on the north-west flank of the volcano. The landslides and the tsunamis represented the most impressive and threatening episodes of a strong effusive eruption, started on 28 December from a new vent which opened close to the north-...
متن کاملthe effect of traffic density on the accident externality from driving the case study of tehran
در این پژوهش به بررسی اثر افزایش ترافیک بر روی تعداد تصادفات پرداخته شده است. به این منظور 30 تقاطع در شهر تهران بطور تصادفی انتخاب گردید و تعداد تصادفات ماهیانه در این تقاطعات در طول سالهای 89-90 از سازمان کنترل ترافیک شهر تهران استخراج گردید و با استفاده از مدل داده های تابلویی و نرم افزار eviews مدل خطی و درجه دوم تخمین زده شد و در نهایت این نتیجه حاصل شد که تقاطعات پر ترافیک تر تعداد تصادفا...
