This book covers the deformation formulation at the source, the initial tsunami wave, its propagation, and run-up, along with the mathematical formulation for generating the initial wave, its propagation, run-up, and inundation. It discusses the varying nature of water depth in different regions, tsunami arrival times, and wave heights on the coast, including the role of islands near the coast acting as waveguides. Tsunami-induced forces on structures are addressed, including both non-breaking and breaking wave regions, as well as tsunami force and pressure. Provides a multi-perspective discussion of tsunamigenic phenomena affecting coastal regions Includes studies of tsunamis generated by meteoritic impacts and landslides and their effects Offers a complete overview of both mathematical and observational aspects of the tsunami phenomenon Explores comparisons between numerical results and on-site tsunami run-up and inundation observations Reviews all aspects of tsunami generation, wave propagation, and inundation at coastal sites This book is aimed at researchers and professionals in geology, geophysics, seismology, natural hazards, and earthquake engineering.
