Analysis of pressure variations observed at the ocean bottom during the 2003 Tokachi-Oki earthquake

Creator:

Li, Wenwen

Abstract:

Most tsunami studies have been conducted based on the incompressible fluid theory. However water compressibility must be considered for the process of tsunami generation by bottom displacements during submarine earthquakes. During the 2003 Tokachi-Oki earthquake, the ocean-bottom pressure variations were registered by the pressure gauges PG1 and PG2 located right...

Laboratory observations of tsunami runup on a complex 3D bathymetry using PIV

Creator:

Ichikawa, Shingo

Abstract:

This thesis presents the details of a large-scale laboratory experiment to study the runup velocity on a complex 3D bathymetry. The PIV measurements including the instrumental setup, the recording procedure, and the image processing are presented. Tsunami inundation directly affects the coastal population and is one of the most important...

An experimental study and a three-dimensional numerical wave basin model of solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder

Creator:

Zhang, Wenbin

Abstract:

An experiment on solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder was conducted in the three-dimensional wave basin at the Oregon State University Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. The cylinder was designed using mechanic principles and finite element analysis techniques to enable accurate measurement of horizontal force and overturning moment. Video data...
