r6736 r6900 170 170 %================Section=========================== 171 171 \section{Results} 172 \label{sec:results} 172 173 Maximum onshore inundation elevation was simulated throughout the entire Patong Bay region. Figure~\ref{fig:inundationcomparison1cm} shows very good agreement between the measured and simulated inundation. Discrepencies between the survey data and the modelled inundated area are apparant and would be due to a number of issues: These include uncertainties in the elevation data, simplifications in the models involved, effects of erosion and deposition by the tsunami event, unknown distribution of surface roughness, as well as measurement errors and missing data in the field survey data itself. 173 174 … … 188 189 \end{center} 189 190 \end{figure} 191 192 193 194 195 %================Section=========================== 196 \section{Sensitivities of inundation model} 197 198 This section shows how model results vary as a result of changing the waveheight at the ANUGA boundary where it was coupled with the URSGA model 199 (Figures \ref{fig:sensitivity_boundary} and 200 \ref{fig:sensitivity_boundary_speed}), how model 201 results vary with different values of Manning's friction coefficient 202 (Figures \ref{fig:sensitivity_friction} and 203 \ref{fig:sensitivity_friction_speed}), 204 and finally 205 the effect of removing buildings from the elevation dataset. 206 (Figures \ref{fig:sensitivity_nobuildings} and 207 \ref{fig:sensitivity_nobuildings_speed}). 208 209 The observations are as expected; The inundation extent increases with 210 boundary waveheight and decreases with friction. It also increases if 211 buildings are removed from the model. From the maximal inundation figures it 212 appears that the presence or absence of buildings is the most important parameter followed by the right choice of friction whereas a small pertubation in 213 the waveheight at the ANUGA boundary has comparatively little effect on the model results. 214 215 FIXME(Ole): It would be nice if we could be a little more quantitative - e.g. along the lines of the MISG study that John and Jane participated in. Thoughts anyone? 216 217 218 219 220 \begin{figure}[ht] 221 \begin{center} 222 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_reference} 223 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_minus10} 224 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_plus10} 225 \caption{Model results with waveight at ANUGA boundary artifically modified 226 to asses sensitivities.

As expected the inundation severity varies in proportion to the boundary waveheight, but the model results are not overly sensitive to 227 this parameter.} 228 \label{fig:sensitivity_boundary} 229 \end{center} 230 \end{figure} 231 232 233 \begin{figure}[ht] 234 \begin{center} 235 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_reference_speed} 236 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_minus10_speed} 237 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_plus10_speed} 238 \caption{Same models as in Figure \protect \ref{sensitivity_boundary} but 239 showing the maximal flow speeds.} 240 \label{fig:sensitivity_boundary_speed} 241 \end{center} 242 \end{figure} 243 244 245 246 \begin{figure}[ht] 247 \begin{center} 248 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_reference} 249 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_f0003} 250 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_f03} 251 \caption{Model results for different values of Manning's friction coefficient. 252 The first image is the reference inundation extent as reported in Section \protect \ref{sec:results} where the friction value $0.01$ was used across the 253 entire domain while the second and third show the inundation results for friction values of 0.0003 and 0.03 respectively. As expected, the inundation extent increases for the lower friction value while the higher slows the flow and decreases the inundation extent. Ideally, friction should vary across the entire domain depending on terrain and vegetation, but this has not been done in this study.} 254 \label{fig:sensitivity_friction} 255 \end{center} 256 \end{figure} 257 258 259 260 261 \begin{figure}[ht] 262 \begin{center} 263 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_reference_speed} 264 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_f0003_speed} 265 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_f03_speed} 266 \caption{Same models as in Figure \protect \ref{sensitivity_friction} but 267 showing the maximal flow speeds.} 268 \label{fig:sensitivity_friction_speed} 269 \end{center} 270 \end{figure} 271 272 273 \begin{figure}[ht] 274 \begin{center} 275 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_reference} 276 \includegraphics[width=3.5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{sensitivity_nobuildings} 277 \caption{This figure shows the effect of having buildings as part of the 278 elevation data set. 279 The first image is the reference inundation extent as reported in Section \protect \ref{sec:results} where buildings were included.
