Tsunami Striking a Landscape
Tsunami Striking a Landscape
This Demonstration simulate the effect of a tsunami near a landscape. The 2D wave equation is used to represent the movement of the tsunami from the sea to the mainland. Effects such as sea level and the center and amplitude of the wave can be used to estimate the damage caused by the wave. The amplitude of the wave decreases with time. The time it takes for the wave to move over the land can be estimated.
