Abstract

Changes in water depth caused by underwater earthquakes and landslides cause sea surface undulations, which in turn propagate to the coast and result in significant damage as wave heights normally increase due to the wave shoaling process. Various types of numerical models have been developed to simulate the generation and propagation of tsunami waves. Most of tsunami models determine the initial surface of the water based on the assumption that the movement of the seabed is immediately and identically transmitted to the sea surface. However, this approach does not take into account the characteristics of underwater earthquakes that occur with time history and spatial variation. Thus, such an incomplete description on the initial generation of tsunami waves is totally reflected in the error during the simulation. In this study, the analytical solution proposed by Hammack (1973) was applied in the tsunami model in order to simulate the generation of initial water surface elevation by the change of water depth with time history and its propagation. The developed solution is expected to identify the relationship among various type of seabed motions, initial surface undulations, and wave speeds of elevated water surfaces.

해저에서 지진 및 산사태 등에 기인하는 수심변화는 자유수면의 변동을 유발한다. 이러한 자유수면의 변동은 해안으로 전파하고 천수현상에 의해 파고가 상승하면서 큰 피해를 야기한다. 지진해일의 생성 및 전파과정을 모의하기 위해 다양한 수치해석모형이 개발된 바 있다. 대부분의 지진해일모형은 해저 지반의 움직임이 수면에 즉시적이고 동일하게 전달된다는 가정하에 초기수면을 결정한다. 하지만, 이 접근 방법은 시간적 및 공간적 차이를 지니고 발생하는 해저지진의 특성을 고려하지 못하며, 이는 그대로 해석오차에 반영된다. 본 연구에서는 Hammack(1973)의 해석해를 응용하여 수심이 시간차를 가지고 변할 때 이로 인한 초기 자유수면의 변동과 이렇게 변화된 수면의 전파 특성을 모의하고 그 결과를 검토하였다. 이는 다양한 유형의 지반운동과 자유수면 형성과의 인과관계 및 상승된 자유수면의 이동속도 등의 관계규명에 도움이 될 것이다.
