Modeling and Visualization of Tsunamis
Modeling tsunami wave propagation is a very challenging numerical task, because it involves many facets: Such as the formation of various types of waves and the impingement of these waves on the coast. We will discuss the different levels of approximations made in numerical modeling of 2-D and 3-D tsunami waves and their relative difficulties. In this paper new attempts are proposed to evaluate...
متن کاملPhysical 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 کاملFloods and tsunamis.
Floods and tsunamis cause few severe injuries, but those injuries can overwhelm local areas, depending on the magnitude of the disaster. Most injuries are extremity fractures, lacerations, and sprains. Because of the mechanism of soft tissue and bone injuries, infection is a significant risk. Aspiration pneumonias are also associated with tsunamis. Appropriate precautionary interventions preven...
متن کاملAccurate CPU Power Modeling for Multicore Smartphones
CPU is a major source of power consumption in smartphones. Power modeling is a key technology to understand CPU power consumption and also an important tool for power management on smartphones. However, we have found that existing CPU power models on smartphones are ill-suited for modern multicore CPUs: they can give high estimation errors (up to 34%) and high estimation accuracy variation (mor...
متن کاملModeling Light Sources for Accurate Simulations
abstract Producing realistic computer generated images has been a focus of computer graphics in recent years, and some papers have proposed methods for handling the geometric or spectral information of light sources. However, lighting engineering applications need to solve many problems in order to substitute accurate visual computer simulations for full scale tests. Solutions are proposed in t...
