A shallow-water equation (SWE) is used to simulate earthquake-induced water waves in this study. A finite-difference method is used to calculate the SWE. The model is verified against the models of Sato and of Demirel and Aydin with three kinds of seismic waves, and the numerical results of earthquake-induced water waves calculated using the proposed model are reasonable. It is also demonstrated that the proposed model is reliable. Finally, an empirical equation for the maximum water elevation of earthquake-induced water waves is developed based on the results obtained using the model, which is an improvement on former models.

In this paper, an explicit time marching procedure for solving the non-hydrostatic shallow water equation (SWE) problems is developed. The procedure includes a process of prediction and several iterations of correction. In these processes, it is essential to accurately calculate the spatial derives of the physical quantities such as the temporal water depth, the average velocities in the horizontal and vertical directions, and the dynamic pressure at the bottom. The weighted-least-squares (WLS) meshless method is employed to calculate these spatial derivatives. Though the non-hydrostatic shallow water equations are two dimensional, on the focus of presenting this new time marching approach, we just use one dimensional benchmark problems to validate and demonstrate the stability and accuracy of the present model. Good agreements are found in the comparing the present numerical results with analytic solutions, experiment data, or other numerical results.

To investigate reflection of a shallow-water soliton at a sloping beach, the edge-layer theory is developed to obtain a ‘reduced’ boundary condition relevant to the simplified shallow-water equation describing the weakly dispersive waves of small but finite amplitude. An edge layer is introduced to take account of the essentially two-dimensional motion that appears in the narrow region adjacent to the beach. By using the matched-asymptotic-expansion method, the edge-layer theory is formulated to cope with the shallow-water theory in the offshore region and the boundary condition at the beach. The ‘reduced’ boundary condition is derived as a result of the matching condition between the two regions. An explicit edge-layer solution is obtained on assuming a plane beach.

Dam-break flows are simulated numerically by a two-dimensional shallow-water-equation model that combines a hydrodynamic module and a sediment transport module. The model is verified by available analytical solutions and experimental data. It is demonstrated that the model is a reliable tool for the simulation of various transient shallow water flows and the associated sediment transport and bed morphology on complex topography. The validated model is then applied to investigate the potential dam-break flows from Tangjiashan Quake Lake resulting from Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008. The dam-break flow evolution is simulated by using the model in order to provide the flooding patterns (e.g., arrival time and flood height) downstream. Furthermore, the sediment transport and bed morphology simulation is performed locally to study the bed variation under the high-speed dam-break flow.

This one-dimensional simulation is performed to find the convergence of different fluxes on the water wave using shallow water equation. There are two cases where the topography is flat and not flat. The water level and grid of each simulation are made differently for each case, so that the water waves that occur can be analyzed. Many methods can be used to approximate the shallow water equation, one of the most used is the finite volume method. The finite volume method offers several numerical solutions for approximate shallow water equation, including Rusanov and HLLE. The derivation result of the numerical solution is used to approximate the shallow water equation. Differences in numerical and topographic solutions produce different waves. On flat topography, the rusanov flux has an average error of 0.06403 and HLLE flux with an average error of 0.06163. While the topography is not flat, the rusanov flux has a 1.63250 error and the HLLE flux has an error of 1.56960.
