This project will focus on the hydrodynamic problems associated with tsunamis in the whole life span, reveal the mechanism of tsunami disasters and develop tsunami modelling and prediction methods. The framework of tsunami mechanics consisting of theoretical analysis, modelling methods and applied technologies is established. . An integrated method of field survey data, theoretical solution, numerical simulation and physical model test is developed to the studies on tsunami science and its applications. The observed and field surveyed data of 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and 2011 Tohoku Tsunami are collected and analyzed comprehensively to identify the hydrodynamic characteristics of tsunamis in terms of wave profile and velocity field, the response of coastal structures and coastal morphology. . The fully nonlinear and highly dispersive water wave model is developed to simulate the generation, deformation, run-up and inundation of tsunamis. More effects are paid to improve the tsunami source model of basic source parameters and the time varying bottom deformation for the generation of tsunami. Regarding the propagation and deformation of tsunami in open ocean and continental shelf, the nonlinearity and dispersion effects of waves are evaluated to research into the mechanism of the different wave profiles of tsunami observed in 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and 2011 Tohoku tsunami. The effects of the bottom roughness and the morphological profiles are considered in developing the theoretical and numerical approaches in modelling runup and rundown processes of tsunami on beaches. Modelling methods of tsunami are validated in terms of the hydrodynamic processes of tsunami in its whole life span based on the field survey data and physical model tests. . A hybrid approach of generating transient tsunamis with different wave profiles is developed to simulate the tsunami waves of different scales. In order to reveal the mechanism of the effects of coral reef and typical coastal topography and morphology on wave profile and velocity field, the hydrodynamic loads acting on breakwaters, sea dikes and buildings, well controlled physical model investigations on tsunami runup, inundation and impacts on coastal structures are carried out. Several benchmark tests for model validation are established. . The potential tsunami and the worst extreme tsunami generated by the earthquake in the Manila trench are simulated to evaluate the tsunami risk and to establish the early warning system for the South China Sea region. Based on the measured date by the buoys and numerical computation, the inversion approach is developed to establish the tsunami early warning method with optimized locations of buoys and parallelized numerical model. Scenarios of tsunamis induced by earthquakes with different magnitudes are provided and analyzed. Hydrodynamic loads acting on offshore structures in the coral reefs regions at the potential tsunami conditions are studied theoretically and experimentally. Tsunami inundation maps in terms of tsunami arrival time, tsunami height, maximum velocity and inundation depth for the South China Sea region are proposed to provide tsunami risk information for coastal managements.
