This action is part of a coordinated project to document and maintain special-purpose computer codes which can be used to study different aspects of the runup of a tsunami (seismic sea wave) onto a coastline. It involves a collaboration between Professor Philip Liu at Cornell University, and Professors Kobayashi and Grilli at the University of Delaware. Quite a large number of special-purpose computer programs have been developed as part of student doctoral theses. Some of these codes were later found to have wider applicability, and are of interest to other researchers. At the time that they were developed, the substantial investment in effort and time needed to document them for general usage was not made. There is now a growing recognition of this need, but there are no agreed-upon standards for such documentation. This project is intended as a pilot study for documenting and maintaining three existing computer programs. The objective is to develop guidelines for documentation and maintenance of such large computer codes, thereby defining a standard which other code developers can follow. This action is for the work by Professor Liu at Cornell. It involves a boundary element program which can be used to calculate the generation, propagation and runup of long waves onto a beach.

这一行动是一个协调项目的一部分， 维护专用计算机代码， 研究海啸的不同方面（地震 海浪）冲到海岸线上。 它涉及到一种合作 康奈尔大学的菲利普·刘教授和 芝加哥大学的小林教授和格里利教授 特拉华州。 相当多的专用计算机程序 已经发展成为学生博士论文的一部分。 其中一些代码后来被发现有更广泛的 它的实用性和其他研究人员的兴趣。 在 当他们被开发出来时，大量的投资 将它们记录下来以供一般使用所需的精力和时间 并没有被制造出来。 现在人们越来越认识到这一点 需要，但没有商定的标准， 文献. 该项目旨在作为一项试点研究， 记录和维护现有的三台计算机 程序. 目标是为以下方面制定准则： 如此大型计算机的文档记录和维护 代码，从而定义了一个标准， 开发商可以跟进。 这一行动是为了康奈尔大学刘教授的工作。 它 涉及边界元程序，该程序可用于 计算了长时程的产生、传播和助跑 海浪冲上海滩。
