BENCHMARK SOLUTIONS FOR TSUNAMI WAVE FRONTS AND RAYS. PART 1: SLOPING BOTTOM TOPOGRAPHY

In this paper, the kinematics of tsunami wave rays and fronts over an uneven bottom are studied. A formula for the wave height along a ray tube is obtained. An exact analytical solution for wave rays and fronts over a sloping bottom is derived. This solution makes possible to determine a tsunami wav...
