1D simulation of the Lituya Bay test case

1. Brief description.

In Herman Fritz (2001) a laboratory model at scale 1:675 was built to give a one-dimensional representation of the Lituya Bay mega-tsunami event of 1958.

2. See the animation of the numerical experiment.

An animation is presented showing the time evolution of the water surface. For comparison reasons the evolution of  a point located at x=850m and the run-up are tracked.

3. Validation with experimental data.

The numerical experiment is validated comparing with the laboratory experimental data presented in H. Fritz (2001).
