---|
42 | This paper proposes a new benchmark for tsunami model validation. |
---|
43 | The benchmark is based upon the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, |
---|
44 | which affords a uniquely large amount of observational data for |
---|
45 | events of this kind. The proposed benchmark is intended to aid |
---|
46 | validation of tsunami inundation, which is the most important stage |
---|
47 | of tsunami evolution. However individual tests are presented to |
---|
48 | facilitate model evaluation for the generation and propagation |
---|
49 | phases as well. Specifically we use geodetic |
---|
50 | measurements of the Sumatra--Andaman earthquake to validate the |
---|
51 | tsunami source, altimetry data from the \textsc{jason} satellite to |
---|
52 | test open ocean propagation, eye-witness accounts to assess near shore |
---|
53 | propagation and a detailed inundation survey of Patong city, Thailand |
---|
54 | to compare model and observed inundation. Furthermore we utilise this |
---|
55 | benchmark to further validate the hydrodynamic modelling tool |
---|
56 | \textsc{ursga--anuga} which is used to simulate the tsunami |
---|
57 | inundation. Important buildings and other structures were incorporated |
---|
58 | into the underlying computational mesh and shown to have a large |
---|
59 | influence on inundation extent. |
---|
60 | |
---|
61 | %Sensitivity analysis also showed that |
---|
62 | %the model predictions are comparatively insensitive to large changes |
---|
63 | %in friction and small perturbations in wave weight at the 100 m depth |
---|
64 | %contour. |
