The Tsunami of 26 December, 2004: Numerical Modeling and Energy Considerations

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model for the global tsunamis computation constructed by Kowalik et al. is applied to the tsunami of 26 December, 2004 in the World Ocean from 80°S to 69°N with spatial resolution of one minute.

Numerical modeling of the global tsunami

TL;DR: In this article, a new model for the global tsunami computation is constructed, which includes a high order approximation for the spatial derivatives, and the boundary condition at the shore line is controlled by the total depth and can be set either to runup or to zero normal velocity.

Oral Session Abstracts: Numerical Modeling of the Global Tsunami: Indonesian Tsunami of 26 December 2004 - Abstract

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model for the long waves, with spatial resolution of one minute, is applied to the tsunami of 26 December 2004 in the World Ocean from 80 S to 69 N. Because the computational domain includes close to 200 million grid points, a parallel version of the code was developed and run on a supercomputer.
