Numerical Modeling of Tsunami Waves Interaction with Porous and Impermeable Vertical Barriers

Tsunami wave interaction with coastal regions is responsible for very important human and economic losses. In order to properly design coastal defenses against these natural catastrophes, new numerical models need to be developed that complement existing laboratory measurements and field data. The u...
