Tsunamis: The propagation of long waves onto a shelf

The various aspects of the propagation of long waves onto a shelf (i.e., reflection, .transmission and propagation on the shelf) are examined experimentally and theoretically. The results are applied to tsunamis propagating onto the continental shelf. A numerical method of solving the one-dimensional Boussinesq equations for constant depth using...

Structural damage by tsunamis

This paper presents a brief discussion of structural damage by tsunamis based primarily on damage produced by recent tsunamis along the northern California coast. Of these recent tsunamis, by far the most damaging was the one of March 1964; which caused approximately $11,000,000 damage at Crescent City, about $300,000 damage at other coastal...

Hilo harbor tsunami model - reflected waves superimposed

The city and harbor of Hilo, located on the northeast coast of the island of Hawaii, have been severely damaged by numerous tsunamis. Physical features which play an important role in the formation of tsunami bores at Hilo are the submarine ridge formations in deep water outside the bay mouth and the nearly vertical cliffs along the Hamalcua...
