42This paper proposes a new benchmark for tsunami model validation.
43The benchmark is based upon the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami,
44which affords a uniquely large amount of observational data for
45events of this kind. The proposed benchmark is intended to aid
46validation of tsunami inundation, which is the most important stage
47of tsunami evolution. However individual tests are presented to
48facilitate model evaluation for the generation and propagation
49phases as well. Specifically we use geodetic
50measurements of the Sumatra--Andaman earthquake to validate the
51tsunami source, altimetry data from the \textsc{jason} satellite to
52test open ocean propagation, eye-witness accounts to assess near shore
53propagation and a detailed inundation survey of Patong city, Thailand
54to compare model and observed inundation. Furthermore we utilise this
55benchmark to further validate the \textsc{ursga--anuga} modelling methodology
56 used by Geoscience Australia to simulate the tsunami
57inundation. Important buildings and other structures were incorporated
58into the underlying computational mesh and shown to have a large
59influence on inundation extent.

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.
