Cooperative Research: Three-dimensional Effects of Tsunami Run-up onto a Coastline

这一行动是重新支持一个多机构的研究项目，涉及教授菲利普L。F.康奈尔大学教授Costas E.南加州大学的Synolakis教授Harry H.华盛顿大学的叶和名誉教授乔治F。哈佛大学运营商。刘教授担任该项目的协调员。 该计划是一个协调的努力，以调查在地震震源区的地面运动之间的关系，并由此产生的爬高分布的近岸海啸。叶教授负责一项大型实验室实验，以测量由离岸海底位移引起的海啸上升高度。实验室的结果提供了必要的数据，以验证反演算法，确定海底位移从助跑信息，刘教授和Synolakis负责开发的反演算法和改进的模拟模型。Carrier教授和Liu教授正在合作，通过利用分析方法的一些优势来提高数值模型的有效性。 研究人员和参与研究的研究人员将每年举行两次会议，讨论研究结果和研究方向。

This action is to renew support for a multi-institutional research project involving Professor Philip L.-F. Liu of Cornell University, Professor Costas E. Synolakis of the University of Southern California, Professor Harry H. Yeh of the University of Washington, and Professor Emeritus George F. Carrier of Harvard University. Professor Liu serves as the coordinator for this project. The program is a coordinated effort to investigate the relationship between the ground movement in the source region of the earthquake, and the resulting runup distribution for a nearshore tsunami. Professor Yeh is responsible for a major laboratory experiment to measure the tsunami runup heights caused by an offshore seafloor displacement. The laboratory results provide essential data to verify the inverse algorithms which determine seafloor displacement from the runup information Professors Liu and Synolakis are responsible for the development of the inverse algorithms and the improvement of the simulation models. Professors Carrier and Liu are collaborating on improving the effectiveness of numerical models by using some of the strengths of analytical approaches. The investigators and participating researchers will meet twice a year to discuss research results and research directions.
