Japan JSPS Program: Mitigation of Tsunami Disaster Utilizing Numerical Simulation

坎奥卢9705797 该奖项支持Utku Kanoglu博士在日本仙台东北大学获得为期12个月的日本科学促进协会（JSPS）博士后奖学金。 Kanoglu博士将与灾害研究控制中心教授Fumihiko Imamura博士合作开展一项名为“利用数值模拟减轻海啸灾害”的研究项目。" 拟议中的研究将调查海啸（大型海浪）接近并接触海岸线时的行为。 由于与波浪积累、共振放大等模式相关的问题目前仍没有得到解答和充分研究，模拟和分析这些过程的计算模型是了解海啸活动的最佳方法。 拟议的研究将利用数值算法来分析海啸活动的发展，演变和结论，研究的主要目标是创建预测模型，以帮助海啸预测，从而减轻海啸造成的破坏。 ***

Kanoglu 9705797 This award supports a 12 month Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Postdoctoral Fellowship for Dr. Utku Kanoglu at Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. Dr. Kanoglu will work with Dr. Fumihiko Imamura, Professor at the Disaster Research Control Center, on a research project entitled, "Mitigation of Tsunami Disaster Using Numerical Simulation." The proposed research will investigate the behavior of tsunamis (large oceanic waves) as they approach and come in contact with coastlines. As questions relating to patterns of wave accumulation, resonant amplification, and so on currently remain unanswered and understudied, computational models that simulate and analyze these processes represent the best method for understanding tsunami activity. The proposed research will utilize numerical algorithms to analyze the development, evolution, and conclusion of tsunami activity in three-dimensions, with the main goal of the research being to create predictive models that will aid in tsunami forecasting and, thus, mitigate the destruction they cause. ***
