| Zusammenfassung |
| In the present work, an advanced tsunami generation, propagation and coastal
inundation 2-DH model (i.e. 2-D Horizontal model) based on the higher-order
Boussinesq equations – developed by the authors – is applied to simulate representative
earthquake-induced tsunami scenarios in the Eastern Mediterranean. Two areas
of interest were selected after evaluating tsunamigenic zones and possible
sources in the region: one at the southwest of the island of Crete in Greece
and one at the east of the island of Sicily in Italy. Model results are
presented in the form of extreme water elevation maps, sequences of
snapshots of water elevation during the propagation of the tsunamis, and
inundation maps of the studied low-lying coastal areas. This work marks one
of the first successful applications of a fully nonlinear model for the 2-DH
simulation of tsunami-induced coastal inundation; acquired results are
indicative of the model's capabilities, as well of how areas in the Eastern
Mediterranean would be affected by eventual larger events. |
