5 | The report describes the methods, assumptions and results of tsunami inundation |
---|
6 | scenarios for two areas in the North West shelf region of the West Australian |
---|
7 | coastline, namely Onslow and Pt Hedland. |

9 | Describe why this work is being done exposure, vulnerability |

10 | understand impact and risk to tsunami hazard. |

13 | The software tool, ANUGA, has been used to develop the inundation extent |
---|
14 | and associated water height at various points in space and time. |
---|
15 | ANUGA has been developed by GA and ANU to solve the nonlinear shallow water |
---|
16 | wave equation using the finite volume technique (described in [1]). |
---|
17 | An advantage of this technique is that the cell resolution can be changed |
---|
18 | according to areas of interest. ANUGA is under constant development and |
---|
19 | validation investigations. As such, the current results represent ongoing work |
---|
20 | and may change in the future. |
---|

---|
22 | The following set of information is required input to undertake the tsunami |
---|
23 | impact modelling and will be discussed in following sections. |
---|
24 | |
---|
25 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
26 | \item onshore and offshore data |
---|
27 | \item initial condition |
---|
28 | \item boundary condition |
---|
29 | \end{itemize} |
