In this paper, we study the maximum run-up of solitary waves on a sloping beach and over a reef through a non-hydrostatic model. We do a modification on the non-hydrostatic model derived by Stelling and Zijlema. The model is approximated by resolving the vertical fluid depth into two-layer system. In contrast to the two-layer model proposed by Stelling, here, we have a block of a tridiagonal matrix for the hydrodynamic pressure. The equations are then solved by applying a staggered finite volume method with predictor-corrector step. For validation, several test cases are presented. The first test is simulating the propagation of solitary waves over a flat bottom. Good results in amplitude and shape preservation are obtained. Furthermore, run-up simulations are conducted for solitary waves climbing up a sloping beach, following the experimental set-up by Synolakis. In this case, two simulations are performed with solitary waves of small and large amplitude. Again, good agreements are obtained, especially for the prediction of run-up height. Moreover, we validate our numerical scheme for wave run-up simulation over a reef, and the result confirms the experimental data.

Abstract. The tsunami generated on 12 July 1993 by the Hokkaido–Nansei–Oki earthquake (Mw = 7.8) brought about a maximum wave run-up of 31.7 m, the highest recorded in Japan during the 20th century, near the Monai Valley on the west coast of Okushiri Island (Hokkaido Tsunami Survey Group, 1993). To reproduce the extreme run-up height, the three-dimensional non-hydrostatic model (Flow Science, 2012), referred to here as the NH-model, has been locally applied with open boundary conditions supplied in an offline manner by the three-dimensional hydrostatic model (Ribeiro et al., 2011), referred to here as the H-model. The area of the H-model is sufficiently large to cover the entire fault region with one-way nested multiple domains. For the initial water deformation, Okada's fault model (1985) using the sub-fault parameters is applied. Three NH-model experiments have been performed, namely without islands, with one island and with two islands. The experiments with one island and with two islands give rise to values close to the observation with maximum run-up heights of about 32.3 and 30.8 m, respectively, while the experiment without islands gives rise to about 25.2 m. The diffraction of the tsunami wave primarily by Muen Island, located in the south, and the southward topographic guiding of the tsunami run-up at the coast are, as in the laboratory simulation (Yoneyama et al., 2002), found to result in the extreme run-up height near Monai Valley. The presence of Hira Island enhances the diffraction of tsunami waves but its contribution to the extreme run-up height is marginal.

Abstract. The tsunami generated on 12 July 1993 by Hokkaido-Nansei-Oki earthquake (Mw = 7.8) has brought about the maximum wave run-up of 31.7 m, the highest record in Japan of 20th century, near the Monai Valley on the west coast of the Okushiri island (Hokkaido Tsunami Survey Group, 1993). To reproduce the extreme run-up height the three-dimensional non-hydrostatic model (Flow Science, 2012) denoted by NH-model has been locally applied with open boundary conditions supplied in an offline manner by the three-dimensional hydrostatic model (Ribeiro et al., 2011) denoted by H-model which is sufficiently large to cover the entire fault region with one-way nested multiple domains. For the initial water deformation Okada's fault model (1985) using the 3 sub-fault parameters is applied. Three non-hydrostatic model experiments have been performed, namely experiment without island, with one island and with two islands. The experiments with one island and with two islands give rise to values close to the observation with maximum run-up heights of about 32.3 and 30.8 m, respectively, while the experiment without islands gives rise to about 25.2 m. The diffraction of tsunami wave primarily by Muen Island located at the South and the southward topographic guiding of tsunami run-up at the coast are as in the laboratory simulation (Yoneyama et al., 2002) found to result in the extreme run-up height near the Monai Valley. The presence of Hira Island enhances the diffraction of tsunami waves but its contribution to the extreme run-up height is marginal.
