Abstract

Most of the existing numerical models for the simulation of Tsunami are based on the 2D shallow water equations. However, for many situations, it is necessary to use the 3D model in addition to the shallow water models to evaluate the damage in the coast region with a reliable accuracy. So, we propose the multi-scale warning system for Tsunami by coupling the 2D shallow water model and the 3D Navier-Stokes model that solves explicitly the free water surface to cover the physical phenomena that have diverse scales in both time and space. As a part of such a system, we, in this paper, present the essential numerics of the models based on the CIP/MM FVM (CIP/Multi-Moment Finite Volume Method) and some simulation results with the real geographical data for the 2D large-scale cases.
