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. Seismic deformation modeling is based on the theory of Okada (1985). The computational grid size is approximately 500 m[Earthquake mechanisms]
Model-1 [Yamanaka and Kikuchi (Preliminary result , 03/09/26/14:30)]
- Epicenter = (41.78 N, 144.079 E)
- (Strike, Dip, Slip) = (210, 17, 91)
- (L,W) = (80 km, 80 km)
- Dislocation = 3.6 m
- Depth = 28 km
Model-2 [Yamanaka and Kikuchi (Preliminary result , 03/09/26/22:00)]
- Epicenter =(41.78 N, 144.079 E)
- (Strike, Dip, Slip) = (210, 17, 91)
- (L,W) = (80 km, 80 km)
- Dislocation = 2.6 m
- Depth = 13 km
Model-3 [Harvard Univ Mechanisms (03/09/25)]
- Epicenter = (42.25 N, 143.78 E)
- (Strike, Dip, Slip) = (252, 11, 136)
- (L,W) = (156 km, 78 km)
- Dislocation = 5.62 m
- Depth = 13 km
