Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory and numerical studies of wave damping by emergent and near-emergent wetland vegetation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured wave attenuation resulting from synthetic emergent and nearly emergent wetland vegetation under a range of wave conditions and plant stem densities using linear wave theory to quantify bulk drag coefficients and with a nonlinear Boussinesq model to determine numerical friction factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling wave runup with depth-integrated equations
TL;DR: In this paper, a moving boundary technique was developed to investigate wave runup and rundown with depth-integrated equations using a high-order finite difference scheme, which is used to solve highly nonlinear and weakly dispersive equations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The conclusion stresses the importance of education: Residents with a basic knowledge of tsunamis, as well as an understanding of how environmental modifications will affect overland flow, are paramount to saving lives and minimizing tsunami destruction.
Journal ArticleDOI
A numerical study of submarine-landslide-generated waves and run-up
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model is derived to describe the generation and propagation of water waves by a submarine landslide, which consists of a depth-integrated continuity equation and momentum equations, in which the ground movement is the forcing function.
Journal ArticleDOI
A two-layer approach to wave modelling
TL;DR: In this article, a set of model equations for water wave propagation is derived by piecewise integration of the primitive equations of motion through two arbitrary layers and an independent velocity profile is derived.
