Tsunami currents in ports.
Tsunami-induced currents present an obvious hazard to maritime activities and ports in particular. The historical record is replete with accounts from ship captains and harbour masters describing their fateful encounters with currents and surges caused by these destructive waves. Despite the well-known hazard, only since the trans-oceanic tsunamis of the early twenty-first century (2004, 2010 a...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of the December 26, 2004: Indian Ocean Tsunami
The December 26, 2004 tsunami is one of the most devastating tsunami in recorded history. It was generated in the Indian Ocean off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia at 0:58:53 (GMT) by one of the largest earthquake of the century with a moment magnitude of Mw = 9.3. In the study, we focus on a best-fitted tsunami source for tsunami modeling based on geophysical and seismological ...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Simulation of Qeshm Channel Currents
Qeshm Channel is a shallow and narrow waterway located between Qeshm Island and the mainland in the vicinity of Hormuzgan Province, Islamic Republic of Iran. This channel is important because of its economic, industrial, fisheries and navigation role it plays as well as environmental issues it presents in the region. A prognostic study was performed to simulate currents in this channel, using C...
متن کاملNonlinear Gulf Stream Interaction with Deep Currents: A Numerical Simulation
A two-way-coupled duo grid primitive-equations-based ocean model is used in a 75-year simulation of the North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico region between 10◦ N and 73◦ N. All advection and horizontal pressure gradient terms are fourth-order accurate on a semi-Collocated control volume grid. By construction of surface freshwater and heat fluxes, the model multi-year ensemble ...
متن کاملValidation and Verification of Tsunami Numerical Models
In the aftermath of the 26 December, 2004 tsunami, several quantitative predictions of inundation for historic events were presented at international meetings differing substantially from the corresponding well-established paleotsunami measurements. These significant differences attracted press attention, reducing the credibility of all inundation modeling efforts. Without exception, the predic...
