Developing and Testing Algorithms for Generating Leading Tsunami Waves (NEES-2010-0924)

<p><strong>Title</strong>: Developing and Testing Algorithms for Generating Leading Tsunami Waves (NEES-2010-0924)</p> <p><b>Year Of Curation: </b>2012</p> <p><b>Description: </b>During the last forty years, solitary waves have been used as surrogate leading tsunami waves in laboratory studies. The data taken from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunamis, however, show that the length and time scales for the solitary wave are too small in comparison with those of real tsunamis. This discovery poses a fundamental challenge for the tsunami research community, who currently interpret the existing results based on solitary wave theory. More importantly, this points to the need to investigate the feasibility of generating adequate long waves in a laboratory facility for laboratory research.</p> <p><b>Award: </b>http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0960512</p> <p><b>PIs & CoPIs: </b>Philip Liu</p> <p><b>Dates: </b>September 01, 2009 - August 31, 2011</p> <p><b>Organizations: </b>Cornell University, NY, United States</p> <p><b>Facilities: </b>Oregon State University, OR, United States</p> <p><b>Sponsor: </b>NSF - 0960512 </p> <p><b>Keywords: </b>tsunami, runup, solitary wave</p> <p><b>Publications: --</b></p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>

**标题**：生成先导海啸波的算法开发与测试（NEES-2010-0924）
**编目年份**：2012
**数据集描述**：近四十年来，实验室研究中一直将孤立波（solitary wave）作为先导海啸波的替代模型。然而，基于2004年印度洋海啸的实测数据显示，孤立波的空间尺度与时间尺度均远小于真实海啸的对应尺度。这一发现对当前依托孤立波理论解读既有研究成果的海啸研究学界构成了根本性挑战。更为关键的是，该发现凸显了一项亟需开展的研究：验证在实验室设施中生成适配真实海啸的长波的可行性。
