Numerical model of the 1975 tsunami

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5221889

The Hawaii tsunami of November 29, 1975, was modeled using the SOLA-3D code, which solves the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible viscous fluid flow. The observed wave profiles of a second wave larger than the first near the source of the tsunami were reproduced.
