Abstract
This paper presents a local tsunami simulation, including the initial displacement field model of tsunami source and tsunami wave propagation model. We deduced the tsunami wave equation; applied the matching of interior and exterior solutions method and water mass method to determine the initial displacement field in different bottom topography. Tsunami wave propagation model was based on the Boussinesq equation. Difference format was based on the ADI method which discretized in alternating direction in the form of implicit scheme. The open boundary of ADI had been revised considering the influence of wave propagation in the equation of motion. The local tsunami mathematical model was used in the simulation of 2011 Japan tsunami, and the results and the observation data match well.
