Cooperative Research: Three-Dimensional Effects of Tsunami Runup Onto a Coastline

这一行动是为了重新支持一个由Philip l - f教授参与的多机构研究项目。康奈尔大学的刘教授、南加州大学的Costas E. Synolakis教授、华盛顿大学的Harry H. Yeh教授和哈佛大学的George F. Carrier教授。刘教授担任这个项目的协调员。该项目是一项协调努力，旨在调查地震震源地区的地面运动与由此产生的近岸海啸的累积分布之间的关系。叶教授负责一项重要的实验室实验，测量由近海海底位移引起的海啸上升高度。实验室结果为验证从运行信息确定海底位移的逆算法提供了必要的数据。Liu教授和Synolakis教授负责逆算法的开发和仿真模型的改进。Carrier教授和Liu教授正在合作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人员将每年举行两次会议，讨论研究成果和研究方向。

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.
