In this study, the new dispersion-correction terms are added to leap-frog finite difference scheme for the linear shallow-water equations with the purpose of considering the dispersion effects such as linear Boussinesq equations for the propagation of tsunamis. And, dispersion-correction factor is determined to mimic the frequency dispersion of the linear Boussinesq equations. The numerical model developed in this study is tested to the problem that initial free surface displacement is a Gaussian hump over a constant water depth, and the results from the numerical model are compared with analytical solutions. The results by present numerical model are accurate in comparison with the past models.

Here we present a study of small-amplitude, shallow water waves on sloping beds. The beds considered in this analysis are linear and quadratic in nature. First we start with stating the relevant governing equations and boundary conditions for the theory of water waves. Once the complete prescription of the water-wave problem is available based on some assumptions (like inviscid, irrotational flow), we normalize it by introducing a suitable set of non-dimensional variables and then we scale the variables with respect to the amplitude parameter. This helps us to characterize the various types of approximation. In the process, a summary of equations that represent different approximations of the water-wave problem is stated. All the relevant equations are presented in rectangular Cartesian coordinates. Then we derive the equations and boundary conditions for small-amplitude and shallow water waves. Two specific types of bed are considered for our calculations. One is a bed with constant slope and the other bed has a quadratic form of surface. These are solved by using separation of variables method.

A second-order accuracy upwind scheme is used to investigate the run-up heights of tsunamis in the East Sea and the predicted results are compared with field observed data and results of a first-order accuracy upwind scheme, In the numerical model, the governing equations solved by the finite difference scheme are the linear shallow-water equations in deep water and nonlinear shallow-water equations in shallow water The target events is 1993 Hokktaido Nansei Oki Tsunami. The predicted results represent reasonably the run-up heights of tsunamis in the East Sea. And, The results of simulation is used to design inundation map.

Both full linear and shallow water edge waves are compared to get a better understanding of edge wave behavior. By using method of separation of variables, we are able to get solution of full linear edge wave presented by Ursell (1952) without derivation. The shallow water edge waves show dispersive features despite being derived from shallow water equations. When bottom slope is mild enough, shallow water edge wave tends to linear edge wave and has some advantages of manipulation. Solution of edge wave generated by a moving landslide of Gaussian shape is constructed by an expansion of shallow water normal modes. Numerical results are presented and discussed on their main features.

The scale of disaster and damage witnessed in the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami has motivated researchers in developing foolproof disaster mitigation techniques for safety of coastal communities. This study focuses on developing tsunami hazard map by numerical modeling at Imwon Port to minimize losses of human beings and property damage when a real tsunami event occurs. A hazard map is developed based on inundation maps obtained by numerical modeling of 3 past and 11 virtual tsunami cases. The linear shallow-water equations with manipulation of frequency dispersion and the non-linear shallow-water equations are employed to obtain inundation maps. The inundation map gives the maximum extent of expected flooded area and corresponding inundation depths which helps in identifying vulnerable areas for unexpected tsunami attacks. The information can be used for planning and developing safety zones and evacuation structures to minimize damage in case of real tsunami events.

Wave characteristics in the presence of energy damping are investigated using the linear shallow water equations. To get the phase and energy velocities, geometric optics approach is used and then these values are validated through numerical experiments. Energy damping affects wave height, phase and energy velocities which result in wave transformation. When the complex wavenumber is used by the Eulerian approach, it is found that the phase velocity decreases as the damping increases while the energy velocity increases showing higher values than the phase velocity. When the complex angular frequency is used by the Lagrangian approach, the energy-damping wave group is found to propagate in the energy velocity. The energy velocity is found to affect shoaling and refraction coefficient which is verified through numerical experiments for waves on a plane slope.

Though the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method has been developed and applied to shallow water equations mainly in explicit schemes, they have been criticized for the limitation in treatment of bottom friction terms and severe CFL conditions. In this study, an implicit scheme is devised and applied to some representative benchmark problems. The linear triangular elements were employed and the Roe numerical fluxes were adopted for convective fluxes. To preserve TVD property, the slope limiter was employed. As the case studies, the model is applied to the flow around the cylinders and the dam-break flow. Then, the results are compared with the experimental and numerical data of previous studies and good agreements were observed.
