Numerical modeling of submarine landslides and surface water waves which they generate

Underwater landslides are a common source of tsunamis in coastal areas. In this thesis, three numerical models are developed to simulate the coupling of submarine landslides and the surface waves which they generate. Three different rheologies of the submarine sediments are considered: a viscous flu...
