Abstract: The accuracy of using high-order Boussinesq-type models as compared to the typical order models is examined in this paper. The high-order model used is the two-layer model of Lynett and Liu in 2004, which captures both ...

Abstract: A study is presented to examine the one-horizontal dimension effect of a shallow shelf obstacle on nonlinear long wave runup. Due to the large horizontal-vertical aspect ratio of this problem, it is not well suited for ...

Abstract: Undular bores and shocks generated by dam-break flows or tsunamis are examined considering nonhydrostatic pressure and dispersive effects in one- and two-horizontal-dimensional space. The fully nonlinear Boussinesq-type ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical model for long-wave interaction with vertically walled porous structures. Based on depth-integrated equations of motion, the model is suitable for weakly nonlinear, weakly dispersive transient ...

Abstract: An efficient nonhydrostatic model with the embedded Boussinesq-type like equations at the free surface is presented to simulate surface waves from shallow to deep water. The new free-surface treatment yields an accurate ...

Abstract: Since the 2006 Kuril Islands tsunami, California small craft marinas have sustained over $100 million in total damage from tsunami events. Surveys conducted after the 2006 Kuril Islands and 2011 Japan tsunamis indicated ...
