PREDICTION OF TSUNAMI PROPAGATION IN THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY

Tsunamis entering into shallow water regions may become highly nonlinear and this may be due to the irregularity of sea bottom roughness relative to the water depth and the complex coastline geometry. The elliptic mild-slope equation is commonly used to predict the nonlinear wave propagation in shal...
