Numerical modeling of tsunami
Numerical modeling of tsunami was performed by using TUNAMI code of DCRC. The model is based on the linear shallow water theory in the spherical co-ordinate system. Seismic deformation modeling is based on the theory of MANSINHA and SMYLIE (1971). The computational grid size is approximately 2 minutes of ETOPO2.Earthquake mechanisms
Model-1 (The fault paramters are based on USGS Moment Tensor Solutions)
- Fault Origin = (9.4S,107.5E)
- (Strike, Dip, Slip) = (270.0,7.0,67.0)
- (L,W) = (45km,20km)
- Dislocation = 2.3 m
- Depth = 40 km
Model-2 (The fault paramters are based on USGS Moment Tensor Solutions)
- Fault Origin = (9.4S,107.5E)
- (Strike, Dip, Slip) = (270.0,7.0,67.0)
- (L,W) = (45km,20km)
- Dislocation = 2.3 m
- Depth = 10 km
Model-3 (The fault paramters are based on CMT Solution of Harvard University)
- Fault Origin = (9.596S,107.915E)
