Simulation of surface waves generated by an underwater landslide in a bounded reservoir

摘要

Equations of a landslide motion over an uneven underwater slope subject to gravity and buoyancy forces, water friction and resistance are presented. A simulation of surface waves generated by a landslide in a bounded reservoir with a parabolic bottom profile has been performed within the nonlinear shallow water equations, and the results of that simulation are given. The influence of the parameters of the motion equation on the maximal splashing size is studied numerically.
