- Abstract
- Since many islands are located in the South Sea of the Korean Peninsula, unexpected tsunamis could cause devastating damage. To investigate the effects of geometric variables on the maximum run-up heights of tsunamis, a numerical model is first employed. The model is based on the nonlinear shallow-water equations with a moving boundary treatment along the shoreline. The numerical model is then applied to simulation of maximum run-up heights of tsunamis approaching on islands with variable geometric conditions. The obtained numerical results can be used to a defense plan of islands in the case of real tsunami attacks.
